Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1958, has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly in the main kitchen and the permitted ADU. The main kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, marble-look quartz countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, appearing updated within the last 5-10 years. The ADU is explicitly described as 'recently upgraded' and visually presents as very modern with clean finishes, recessed lighting, and updated flooring. While some bathrooms show slightly older tile styles (likely 10-20 years old), they are clean and functional. The main living areas have updated light wood-look laminate flooring and recessed lighting. A new water heater is also mentioned. The property is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' criteria. However, the original build year of 1958 and the lack of explicit details regarding comprehensive updates to all major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) in the main house prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating, as some original systems might still be in place or have been updated more than 15 years ago.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Permitted ADU with Income Potential: Features a permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a private entry, offering significant potential for multi-generational living or rental income, explicitly highlighted as 'Cash Flow'.
Strategic & Accessible Location: Situated in a highly sought-after area of La Mirada, providing excellent access to major job markets (LA, OC, IE), top universities, and a wide array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
Abundant Recreational Proximity: Exceptional proximity to major attractions like Disneyland (10 min), Knotts Berry Farm (5 min), various beaches, regional parks with diverse activities, and golf courses, enhancing lifestyle appeal.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Utility: The property boasts practical outdoor amenities including two covered patios, artificial turf, a rockscape, a full concrete driveway, and gated RV parking, adding significant value and convenience.
Family-Oriented Community & Amenities: Located in a beautiful, family-friendly city with mature tree-lined streets, a good school district, and mature fruit trees (Lemon, Tangerine, Grapefruit), contributing to a desirable living environment.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1958, the main residence may have original systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that could require significant updates or maintenance in the near future, despite some recent upgrades.
Significant Price History Adjustments: Multiple substantial price reductions from the original list price of $1.1M to $950K could suggest initial overpricing or challenges in attracting buyers, potentially indicating a longer market time or perceived value issues.
Limited Main House Renovation Details: While the ADU and water heater are new, the description lacks specific details on recent upgrades or renovations to the main 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, implying potential for further modernization to meet current buyer expectations.
