Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1979 (45 years old), is explicitly described as a 'Fixer up' in the MLS listing, indicating it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While only an exterior image is provided, the 'fixer up' status strongly suggests that interior components, including the kitchen and bathrooms, are likely original, outdated, and in need of significant renovation to meet current standards. The listing also mentions 'INVESTORS NEED TO SUBMIT OFFERS ON A NODPA FORM,' further reinforcing that this is not a move-in ready home and requires considerable investment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & School District: Situated in the highly desirable Placentia-Yorba Linda School District with convenient access to local amenities including parks, schools, colleges, and shopping.
Expansive Lot & Secluded Setting: Features a large 9,600 sq. ft. lot on a private cul-de-sac, offering enhanced privacy and significant outdoor potential.
Spacious Floor Plan: Offers a generous 2,765 sq. ft. of living space with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, accommodating larger families.
Desirable Greenbelt View: Benefits from a pleasant Park/Greenbelt view, adding to the property's aesthetic appeal and tranquility.
Functional Layout: Includes a convenient downstairs bathroom, enhancing the home's practicality and accessibility for residents and guests.
Cons
Fixer-Upper Condition: Explicitly marketed as a 'Fixer up,' indicating substantial renovation and investment will be required to modernize and bring the property to current standards.
Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1979, the property likely requires significant updates to systems, finishes, and overall aesthetic to meet contemporary buyer expectations and avoid deferred maintenance issues.
Valuation & Sale Process: A recent significant price reduction from $1.35M to $1.175M and a listing price 6% above the current property estimation, coupled with specific investor submission requirements, suggest potential complexities in valuation or sale process.
