Despite being built in 1937, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations in its most critical areas. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2020 with new appliances, granite countertops, and high-quality cabinetry, presenting a modern and functional space. The bathrooms were also fully remodeled in 2022 with marble countertops, high-quality cabinetry, and faucets, indicating a very recent and significant upgrade. The original solid oak wooden flooring is a durable and attractive feature that appears well-maintained. Additional recent upgrades like EV charging, security systems, and a new retaining wall further enhance the property's condition and appeal. While the master bathroom is noted as unpermitted, the physical condition and quality of the recent renovations are excellent, making the property move-in ready with virtually new key components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: Offers a spectacular 270° unobstructed view of Orange County, Catalina Island, Long Beach ports, and nightly fireworks, providing a premium aesthetic and high value.
Extensive Recent Remodels: Kitchen (2020) and bathrooms (2022) have been fully remodeled with high-quality materials, ensuring modern comfort and appeal.
Enhanced Security & Modern Infrastructure: Features a strong solar-controlled security gate, Ring cameras, 240v EV charging, and a reinforced retaining wall, adding significant safety and convenience.
Large, Private Lot: Situated on almost an acre of secluded land, offering exceptional privacy and ample outdoor space, a rare commodity.
Unique Character & Bonus Spaces: Retains original solid oak flooring, includes a small basement for wine storage, and a 300 sqft detached flex space, adding distinct charm and utility.

Cons

Unpermitted Master Suite: The master bathroom and closet are unpermitted, which could lead to legal complications, insurance issues, and impact future resale value.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback and comfort concern during warm Southern California months.
Age of Property: Built in 1937, while charming, an older home may have underlying original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly updated, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
