Condition Rating
Good

This duplex, built in 1941, presents a mixed but generally good condition. Both units benefit from significant upgrades such as dual-pane windows and central air and heat, indicating well-maintained major systems. The rear unit is extensively renovated with modern features including handcrafted Shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a jetted bathtub, placing it in excellent condition. The front unit, while having beautiful hardwood floors and updated stainless steel kitchen appliances, features a 'vintage' bathroom with dated tiled countertops and tub surround, and an older style kitchen with tiled countertops and fluorescent lighting. These areas are functional but aesthetically outdated. Overall, the property is move-in ready, with the front unit's kitchen and bathroom being functional but potential aesthetic renovation projects for a buyer, preventing an 'Excellent' score, but the significant system updates and the high quality of the rear unit elevate it beyond 'Fair'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Duplex: The property features two separate homes on one lot, offering excellent potential for rental income or multi-generational living arrangements in a desirable area.
Prime Costa Mesa Location: Strategically located close to Downtown Costa Mesa, with easy access to shopping, restaurants, parks, public transportation, and the 55 freeway, enhancing its appeal and convenience.
Extensively Updated Rear Unit: The rear unit boasts high-end finishes including beautiful wood ceilings, handcrafted Shaker style cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a jetted bathtub, providing a modern and luxurious living experience.
Modern Infrastructure & Comfort: Both homes benefit from significant upgrades such as dual-pane windows, central air and heat, and a newer extra-long concrete driveway, ensuring comfort and efficiency.
Generous Lot Size & Outdoor Space: A substantial 7549 sq ft lot includes a very large garden bed and pavered patio, along with a 2-car attached garage and ample driveway parking, offering valuable outdoor living and utility space.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1941, the property's age, despite updates, may imply potential for underlying older infrastructure or maintenance requirements not immediately apparent.
Disparity in Unit Modernization: While the rear unit is extensively updated, the front unit's 'vintage bathroom' suggests a less comprehensive renovation, potentially creating a noticeable difference in modern amenities and appeal between the two units.
Modest Unit Sizes: With units approximately 1043 sq ft and 825 sq ft, the individual living spaces are relatively modest, which might limit appeal for larger families or those seeking more expansive interiors.
