Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property features a kitchen and interior finishes (oak cabinetry, wood paneling, green carpeting, and popcorn ceilings) that appear to be 30+ years old. While the home is well-maintained and functional, it is significantly dated and requires comprehensive cosmetic updates and likely system overhauls to meet modern standards.
Elementary School: Francis Hopkinson Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Oak Middle School (9/10). High School: Los Alamitos High School (9/10).
Situated in the highly desirable Rossmoor Highland community, the property is served by the award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District, featuring multiple schools with 9 and 10 ratings.
With 2,642 square feet and five bedrooms—including three conveniently located on the main level—the floor plan offers exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or a home office.
Marketed as having 'endless potential' and being 'well-loved,' the 1962 home likely requires a substantial capital investment to modernize the interior finishes and systems.
The property lacks any significant views, which may be a competitive disadvantage for buyers comparing it to other premium-priced residences in the area.
