Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1960, the home is well-maintained but dated. While it features newer essential systems including the roof, gutters, and central HVAC, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly aged (>20 years) with original-style cabinetry and flooring that require modernization.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Jack L. Weaver Elementary School (9/10). High School: Los Alamitos High School (9/10).
- Outdoor Living & Amenities
The property features an expansive 6,051 sqft lot equipped with a private swimming pool, covered patio, and fruit trees, offering a premium outdoor lifestyle rarely found at this price point.
- Key Infrastructure Upgrades
Significant recent improvements, including a newer roof, gutters, and a modern central AC/heating system, reduce immediate maintenance costs and enhance the home's overall value.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Bathroom Count
The 1.5-bathroom configuration may be a drawback for growing families or those who prefer two full bathrooms for a three-bedroom residence.
- Compact Living Space
With only 1,130 square feet of interior space, the home's footprint is relatively small for a three-bedroom layout, potentially resulting in tighter bedroom or common area dimensions.
