Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1971, this property is well-maintained but largely original, featuring dated kitchen cabinetry with exposed hinges, older black appliances, and aged flooring. While the home is move-in ready and has been freshened with white paint and staging, the listing description explicitly identifies it as a 'reimagine' opportunity requiring a 'future transformation,' placing it firmly in the fair category due to its age and lack of recent major renovations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14400, living area = 2565.
The property is positioned high above the OC basin, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of city lights, the skyline, and sunsets from both the interior and the expansive backyard.
Situated on a rare 14,400 square foot lot, the grounds feature a large pool, spa, and professional landscaping, providing a premier foundation for luxury outdoor entertaining.
The property is marketed as a 'reimagine' opportunity, indicating that the 1971 interior and finishes are dated and will require a significant capital investment to modernize.
Due to the home's age, buyers should anticipate the need for updates to major systems and structural elements to meet current building codes and luxury standards.
