Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1985, this condo has undergone significant updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and black granite countertops, though the light wood cabinet style appears to be from an earlier renovation (likely 10-15 years ago) rather than brand new. Bathrooms have updated vanities and fixtures, presenting a clean and modern look. A major recent upgrade includes brand new dual pane windows and sliding doors. The main living areas and bedrooms boast updated flooring, and the property is freshly painted. While the kitchen cabinets and the older flooring in the bonus room prevent an 'Excellent' rating, the overall condition is well-maintained with functional systems and no immediate renovation needs, aligning with a 'Good' score.
Pros & Cons

Prime Coastal Location: Centrally located near shopping, restaurants, Huntington Central Park, and just minutes from the iconic Huntington Beach Pier, offering a highly desirable lifestyle.
Significant Interior Upgrades: Features an upgraded kitchen with modern appliances and ample storage, along with brand new dual pane windows and sliding doors, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency.
Versatile Bonus Room: A separate bonus room with its own entrance, window, and door provides flexible space ideal for a home office, studio, or additional storage, adding significant functional value.

Low HOA with Community Amenities: The Capewoods community boasts low HOA dues while providing desirable amenities such as a sparkling pool, spa, and clubhouse, enhancing resident quality of life.

Cons

Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Southern California.
Building Age: Built in 1985, the building is nearly 40 years old, which may lead to potential future common area assessments or maintenance needs despite current low HOA dues.
Compact Living Space: At 950 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit with a bonus room, the overall living space may feel compact for some buyers, potentially limiting furniture arrangements or spaciousness.
