Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1985, this property has undergone significant recent upgrades, including modern granite countertops, new appliances, and Swedish oak flooring throughout the kitchen and living areas. The description notes 'no deferred maintenance' and the presence of A/C. While the kitchen and main living spaces are well-updated and move-in ready, the bathrooms, despite being clean and functional, feature dated wall tiles that do not align with a 'fully renovated' aesthetic, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. The property is well-maintained and requires no immediate renovations, fitting the 'Good' category.

- Limited Ocean View
The property offers only a 'peekaboo OCEAN VIEW,' which may not meet the expectations of buyers seeking expansive, unobstructed ocean vistas in Laguna Beach.
- Tenant Occupancy
While beneficial for income, the presence of existing tenants means a buyer seeking immediate full owner-occupancy for both units would need to wait until the end of the year.
- Property Age
Built in 1985, despite recent upgrades, the underlying structure is older, which might be a consideration for buyers preferring newer construction.
