More Insights
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1949, this duplex underwent a complete remodel in 2016, placing its renovation within the 5-15 year window for a 'Good' score. The images showcase a modern, updated bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and contemporary vanity. The description highlights fully appointed kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Flooring appears clean and updated (carpet and hardwood). While a window AC unit is visible in one living area, suggesting a lack of central air, the overall condition reflects a well-maintained, move-in ready property with modern finishes from its recent extensive renovation.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Potential & Flexibility: This duplex configuration offers two distinct units (2B/1B and 1B/1B) on a single lot, providing strong rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Recent Comprehensive Remodel: The property was completely remodeled in 2016, featuring modern kitchens with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated interiors, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Desirable East Side Costa Mesa Location: Situated on a quiet street in the highly sought-after East Side Costa Mesa area, the property offers excellent access to local amenities, schools, and a vibrant community.
Enhanced Lifestyle Amenities: The property includes a detached art studio/office for the back unit, private enclosed yards for both units, and a shared detached two-car garage with additional storage, adding significant value and utility.
Generous Lot Size: With a substantial 7,009 sqft lot, the property provides ample outdoor space, including private yards and patios, which is a significant asset in a dense urban area like Costa Mesa.
Cons
Older Original Construction: Despite a comprehensive remodel in 2016, the property's original build year of 1949 could imply older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond cosmetic updates) that may require future maintenance or upgrades.
Shared Detached Garage: The shared nature of the detached two-car garage, while providing storage, could lead to potential disputes or inconvenience between the occupants of the two units regarding access, parking, and storage space.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $1.85M to $1.8M suggests the property may have been initially overpriced or has experienced difficulty attracting offers at its higher price point, potentially indicating market resistance.
