Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1962, has undergone recent and significant upgrades, particularly evident in the kitchen and living area. The kitchen features new, modern white shaker cabinets, light gray solid surface countertops, new LVP flooring, and a stainless steel range hood, indicating a contemporary renovation. The living area also shows updated flooring and a modern tiled fireplace. However, the kitchen is not fully move-in ready as major appliances (stove, dishwasher, refrigerator) are missing. While the visible renovations are substantial and appear to be within the 5-15 year timeframe for 'Good' condition, the lack of information on bathroom conditions and the status of major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for a 1962 build prevents an 'Excellent' rating. The missing kitchen appliances also mean it's not entirely 'move-in ready' without immediate purchases.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Killybrooke Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Central Location: The property boasts a highly desirable central location in Costa Mesa, offering easy access to the 405 freeway and the renowned South Coast Plaza, enhancing convenience and appeal.
Generous Lot Size: With a 6,480 sqft lot, the property provides a large yard, offering ample outdoor space for recreation, landscaping, or potential expansion, a significant advantage in this market.
Desirable Bedroom Count: The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration is highly sought after, catering effectively to families and providing versatile living arrangements.
Recent Upgrades: The property has been 'recently upgraded,' suggesting a refreshed interior and reduced immediate maintenance needs for prospective buyers.
Strong School District: Located within the Newport Mesa Unified School District, with several highly-rated elementary schools nearby, making it attractive to families prioritizing education.
Cons
Aggressive Pricing: The list price of $1.399M is notably higher than the estimated property value ($1.03M) and appears aggressive when compared to recent sales of similar or more extensively upgraded properties in the area.
Vague Upgrade Details: While 'recently upgraded' is mentioned, the lack of specific details regarding the scope and quality of renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms, HVAC, roof, windows) may create uncertainty for buyers and hinder justification of the asking price.
Older Construction: Built in 1962, the property is over 60 years old. Without explicit mention of updated major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), buyers may factor in potential future costs for infrastructure maintenance or replacement.
