Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1996, the home is approximately 28 years old and appears to retain most of its original finishes. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated oak cabinetry, white tile countertops, and 90s-era fixtures. While the property is well-maintained and functional for move-in, it requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
Situated in the prestigious Newport Heights neighborhood, this property offers an ideal lifestyle with close proximity to the beaches, as well as the vibrant shopping and dining corridor along 17th Street.
The home is perfectly positioned for families, located less than an eighth of a mile from Newport Harbor High School and within easy reach of top-rated Ensign Middle and Newport Heights Elementary.
The rare single-story open floor plan combined with vaulted ceilings creates an airy, spacious atmosphere that is highly sought after for both accessibility and modern entertaining.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2100, other record living area = 2145.
The mention of 'creating your own fresh finishes' and the use of virtually enhanced photos suggest the 1996 interior may be dated and require additional capital investment to meet contemporary luxury standards.
At a list price of nearly $3 million, the property commands a high price point that may be difficult to justify if significant renovations are needed to achieve the aesthetic potential shown in marketing materials.
