PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Exceptional Outdoor Entertainment Space

    Situated on a rare, oversized 18,234 sqft cul-de-sac lot, the backyard is a true resort-style retreat featuring a professional BBQ bar, putting greens, a Jacuzzi, and glass fencing to preserve unobstructed panoramic mountain and city light views.

  • Versatile Luxury Floor Plan

    The expansive 5,205 sqft interior is thoughtfully designed for privacy and multi-generational living, featuring a rare main-level in-law suite with private courtyard access and en-suite bathrooms for every guest bedroom.

  • Premium Coastal Location

    Located within the exclusive gated Bal Harbour community, this property offers an elite coastal lifestyle within walking distance to the iconic Dana Point Harbor, Doheny State Beach, and the San Juan Creek hiking trails.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 3.

  • Aggressive Price Appreciation

    The current list price of $4.5M represents a significant jump from its 2021 sale price of $2.45M, which may lead to appraisal challenges or hesitation from value-driven investors in the current market.

  • Inconsistent School Ratings

    While the local high school is highly rated (8/10), the assigned elementary school carries a lower rating (5/10), which could be a drawback for families specifically seeking a top-tier primary education path.
