Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1925, this property exhibits classic architectural charm and appears well-maintained from the exterior and in general living areas with hardwood flooring. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated, featuring older white cabinets, laminate countertops, dated white appliances, and older tile work and fixtures. While functional, these key areas would require substantial updates to meet modern standards, indicating the property is aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated, consistent with a 'Fair' condition.

Income-Generating Triplex: As a multi-unit property (triplex) with 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across three units, it offers significant potential for immediate rental income and portfolio diversification for investors.
Strategic Location: Conveniently located near downtown Santa Ana, providing excellent access to shopping, schools, restaurants, and major freeways (I-5 & 55), which enhances tenant demand and property value.
Investment Growth Potential: Described as an 'investment gem' in a 'rapidly growing area,' this property is well-suited for a long-term hold, indicating strong potential for appreciation and capital growth.
Classic Architectural Charm: Built in 1925, the property boasts classic architectural charm, offering unique aesthetic appeal and character that can attract discerning tenants or buyers.
Spacious & Functional Units: The property features three spacious units with functional layouts, making them attractive and comfortable for a wide range of potential renters.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7270, other record lot size in square feet = 8101.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1925, the property is nearly a century old, which may imply potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and higher ongoing maintenance or capital expenditure requirements.
Unspecified Modern Upgrades: While 'beautifully maintained,' the description lacks specific details on recent major renovations or modern amenities, suggesting potential for interiors or systems that may not meet current market expectations without further investment.
Limited Premium View: The property offers a 'Neighborhood' view, which, while present, does not provide a premium or highly sought-after vista, potentially limiting its unique market appeal compared to properties with more desirable scenic views.
