Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, the home is functional and move-in ready with recent interior paint and a newer mini-split HVAC system. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated (likely 20+ years old), and the property retains many original features that require modernization to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13125, living area = 2156.
Ideally situated near Chapman University and the historic Old Towne Orange Circle, offering high desirability for both owner-occupants and investment-focused buyers.
The massive 13,125 sq ft flat lot provides significant space for outdoor living or the construction of an ADU, offering a clear path to increased property value.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2156, other record living area = 2047.
Built in 1948, the property may require additional investment for modernizing older systems or structural elements common in homes of this era.
At a price point exceeding $1.3M, the three-bedroom configuration may be perceived as a limitation for larger families seeking more sleeping quarters.
