More Insights

Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: While the property boasts extensive recent cosmetic updates, including new vinyl flooring (2022), quartz/granite countertops, recessed lighting, fresh paint, and new appliances in the back unit, its original build year of 1951 means the underlying structure and major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) are over 70 years old. The listing itself highlights 'potential for older major systems... not explicitly mentioned as updated' as a weakness. The back unit's kitchen and bathroom are modern and in excellent condition, but the front unit's bathroom appears older, and the overall age of the property's core infrastructure prevents it from achieving a 'Good' rating, as major systems are unlikely to be within their expected lifespan. It is aged but well-maintained with significant recent cosmetic updates, fitting the 'Fair' category due to potential future needs for major system replacements.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Concerns: Built in 1951, while cosmetically updated, the underlying structure is over 70 years old, which may imply potential for older major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Limited Overall Living Space: With a total of 1342 sqft for two units, the individual living spaces are relatively compact, which might not appeal to buyers seeking more expansive homes or larger families.
Lack of Premium Views & Partial AC: The property offers a 'Neighborhood' view, lacking the highly desirable ocean or city views often found in San Clemente. Additionally, only the back unit is specified to have a mini-split AC, suggesting the front unit may lack air conditioning.
