This is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with about 2,400 square feet, sold as-is for a cash buyer ready to finish the work. The kitchen is not yet functional, and the home has outstanding city permits to clear, including a stop work order. It's an unfinished project in a Costa Mesa location, open to a buyer's own plans.

From the listing: “Due to the property’s current unfinished condition, lack of a functioning kitchen, and outstanding permitting and code-compliance matters, the property is not expected to qualify for conventional financing.”
