Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1966 (58 years old), is explicitly described as a 'fixer' and 'sold as is,' indicating a need for substantial rehabilitation. Images confirm this, showing a severely outdated kitchen with old appliances, laminate countertops, and dated cabinets. Bathrooms feature old fixtures and finishes. Flooring consists of worn carpet and old vinyl/linoleum. Popcorn ceilings and dated light fixtures are prevalent throughout. The heating system appears to be an older wall unit. While not unlivable or structurally unsound (which would suggest 'tear-down'), the property requires extensive renovations to meet modern standards of comfort and functionality, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Community Location: Situated within Leisure World (LW) in Laguna Woods, a highly sought-after 55+ community known for its extensive amenities and active senior lifestyle.
Value-Add Opportunity: Described as a 'fixer' and 'sold as-is,' this property offers a significant opportunity for buyers to customize and add substantial value through renovations.
Accessible Price Point: Listed at $288,000, it represents a relatively affordable entry into the desirable Laguna Woods market, especially for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit.
Functional Layout: The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration provides a practical and comfortable living space, appealing to a wide range of potential buyers within the community.
Pleasant Views: The property offers desirable 'Neighborhood, Trees/Woods' views, enhancing the living environment and aesthetic appeal.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' and 'sold as-is,' indicating that significant capital and effort will be needed for updates and repairs.
High Monthly Association Fees: The substantial association fee of $761.02/month adds a considerable ongoing cost, which may impact affordability and buyer interest.
Stock Cooperative Ownership: The property's 'Stock Cooperative' sub-type of ownership can present unique financing challenges and may not appeal to all buyers accustomed to traditional condominium or fee-simple ownership.
