The property has been recently remodeled with elevated finishes, including hardwood floors, stone countertops, custom millwork, and designer lighting, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets and dark granite, but the white appliances are not consistent with a 'virtually new' high-end renovation. One bathroom shows a more modern white vanity, while another has a slightly older-style wood vanity and sliding shower doors. Despite the 1969 build year, the extensive updates place it well above 'Fair,' but the minor inconsistencies in appliance and bathroom finishes prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score, which implies all components are virtually new and meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Jack L. Weaver Elementary School (9/10). High School: Los Alamitos High School (9/10).
Prime Waterfront Location: Situated in Humboldt Island, a coveted Huntington Harbour enclave, offering direct waterfront access, tranquil water views, and striking sunsets, along with optimal proximity to local amenities, shopping, dining, and beaches.
Private Boat Dock: Includes a private 35’ boat dock, a highly desirable feature for waterfront properties, enhancing the coastal lifestyle and recreational opportunities.
Recently Remodeled with Elevated Finishes: The home has been recently remodeled with a neutral palette, elevated finishes, hardwoods, stone, custom millwork, and designer lighting, providing a modern and luxurious aesthetic.
Luxury Outdoor Amenities: Features a rare waterfront pool and spa on a property-width terrace, offering exceptional private outdoor relaxation and entertainment space with water views.
Spacious & Functional Layout: With 2,831 sq ft of living space and 4 bedrooms/3 baths, the two-level home is incredibly functional, well-appointed for both formal and informal living, and ideal for hosting and modern living.

Cons

Age of Structure: Built in 1969, the underlying structure is over 50 years old. While remodeled, potential buyers may have concerns about the condition or updates of core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
High Price Point & Recent Price Adjustment: The property's list price of $3.595 million is substantial, narrowing the potential buyer pool. A recent price reduction from $3.75 million suggests market sensitivity or an initial aggressive pricing strategy.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning (Implied): The property description does not mention central air conditioning. For a luxury home of this caliber and age, the absence of a modern cooling system could be a drawback for some buyers, even in a coastal climate.
