Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1922, is over 100 years old. While the listing mentions a 'remodeled kitchen with granite counters' and 'hardwood floors,' and images show some updated features like a mini-split AC unit and modern bathroom vanity, the overall condition reflects its age and piecemeal renovations. The kitchen cabinets and granite countertops, while functional, appear to be an older style of remodel (likely 10-20 years old), not a recent, high-end renovation. The bathroom tiling also looks dated. The description notes 'additional bedrooms and bathroom' and the 'garage has been used as a kitchen and music room,' which are flagged as potential unpermitted conversions, indicating a need for significant legal or structural remediation. Despite some functional updates, the property requires minor updates to modernize styles and potentially substantial repairs/legalization for unpermitted work, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
The property offers a versatile layout with a main home and additional bedrooms/bathroom in the rear, plus a converted garage space, making it conducive for multi-generational living or potential income-generating units.
A beautiful upstairs deck provides attractive city views and lights, enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal and offering a pleasant outdoor living space.
Located within 10 minutes of South Coast Plaza, near Metrolink, Farmers Market, and Bristol Street, offering excellent access to shopping, transportation, and local amenities.
The description explicitly states the garage has been used as a kitchen and music room, and mentions additional bedrooms/bathroom in the rear, strongly suggesting potential unpermitted modifications that could lead to legal, insurance, or costly remediation issues.
The conversion of the garage eliminates covered parking, which can be a significant drawback for buyers prioritizing secure vehicle storage or traditional garage utility.
Built in 1922, the property is over 100 years old. While some updates are noted, older homes often require more significant and ongoing maintenance or upgrades to original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) not detailed in the listing.
