Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1983, this property is 41 years old. While the exterior and general living areas appear clean and well-maintained, the interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, are significantly dated. The kitchen features original or very old white flat-panel cabinets, white laminate countertops, and older appliances (though the W/D are newer). The bathroom exhibits a similar dated aesthetic with older vanity and fixtures. The white square tile flooring throughout the main living areas and kitchen, along with mirrored closet doors, are characteristic of the 1980s. A notable detractor is the unfinished plywood flooring in the upstairs loft, which would require immediate finishing if intended as a functional living space. The property is functional and livable but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations and styles, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged, maintained, but with outdated major components and requiring minor to moderate updates/repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Maude B. Davis Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Location & Community: Located in the heart of Costa Mesa within the charming, low-density (20 units) Knowleton Manor gated community, offering convenient access to shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Enhanced Privacy & Layout: As an end unit with ground-level entry and only one adjoining neighbor, the property offers superior privacy compared to typical condominiums.
Flexible Living Space: Features a spacious main bedroom and a large upstairs loft easily convertible into a second bedroom or dedicated office, providing versatile living arrangements.
Premium Parking & Amenities: Includes two reserved spaces in a gated underground parking garage, ample guest parking, and desirable in-unit amenities such as a private patio, inside laundry, and included appliances (W/D, Refrigerator).
Architectural Appeal & Value: Boasts soaring cathedral ceilings and a custom fireplace, adding architectural character, and benefits from a recent price reduction, potentially offering better value.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one full bathroom, which may be inconvenient for a unit with a potential two-bedroom configuration or for hosting guests.
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $504 is relatively high for a 909 sqft unit, impacting overall affordability and monthly expenses.
Compact Square Footage: With 909 square feet, the living space is relatively compact, which might be a limitation for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
