Condition Rating
Good
While the property boasts a meticulously renovated, high-end kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry, along with new hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and newer HVAC/water heater, the primary bathroom (as seen in image 10) remains significantly outdated with original fixtures, vanity, and flooring. This prevents an 'Excellent' rating, as not all key components are new or virtually new. However, the extensive and high-quality renovations in the main living areas and kitchen make it largely move-in ready and highly desirable, fitting the 'Good' criteria of being well-maintained with significant updates, even if not a full, comprehensive renovation throughout every space.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Renovation: The home features a meticulously renovated chef's kitchen with high-end amenities including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (Thermador range with pot filler), custom cabinetry, a large center island, office nook, and coffee/wine bar. Living areas are also renovated, blending timeless design with modern comforts.
Updated Systems & Features: Key systems have been updated, including newer central heat and air conditioning, a new water heater, renovated downstairs powder room with custom vanity, new fixtures, and recessed lighting throughout, ensuring modern comfort and efficiency.
Versatile Living Spaces: The property offers an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, elegant custom wood flooring, a large additional downstairs living space with a cozy rock fireplace, and a dedicated laundry facility, providing diverse and functional areas for daily living and entertaining.
Prime Location & Neighborhood: Located on a corner lot in the desirable Alamitos Heights subdivision, the home is a short distance to Colorado Lagoon, Marine Stadium, Belmont Shore's shopping and dining, and excellent schools, offering a superb lifestyle.
Outdoor Living & Investment Potential: Two low-maintenance backyard spaces with artificial turf and a charming covered front porch enhance outdoor living. The property is highlighted as a strong investment opportunity, especially with its proximity to 2028 Olympic training and event venues.

Cons

Split-Level Design: While characteristic of its mid-century modern style, the split-level layout may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those who prefer single-level living or a more traditional two-story home due to the multiple sets of stairs.
Compact Lot Size: The lot size of 3,864 sqft is relatively compact, which might limit extensive outdoor expansion possibilities or appeal to buyers seeking a larger private yard for gardening or recreational activities.
Corner Lot Considerations: Being on a corner lot, the property may experience increased street noise or reduced privacy compared to interior lots, depending on local traffic patterns and neighborhood activity.
