Condition Rating
Tear down
The MLS description explicitly states this is an 'opportunity to develop a large custom build dream home OR three 2500 square-foot single-family homes on a prime real estate lot.' All provided images are architectural blueprints and site plans, not photos of an existing residential structure. Therefore, there is no existing home, kitchen, or bathrooms to assess. The property, in its current state, is a vacant lot and is 'unlivable' as a residence. Its value is based solely on the land and its potential for redevelopment, which aligns with the core definition of a 'tear-down' property, despite the absence of a physical structure to demolish.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Development Potential: Offers the flexibility to develop either a large custom home or three 2500 sqft single-family homes, maximizing investment return.
Prime Midtown Location: Centrally located in Midtown Santa Cruz, a highly desirable area, enhancing future property value and appeal.
Excellent Proximity to Amenities: Conveniently located just minutes from the beach, boat harbor, restaurants, shops, and freeway access (41st Avenue).
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 22,782 sqft lot provides ample space for ambitious development projects.
Opportunity for New Construction: Allows for the creation of brand-new, modern homes, which are highly attractive to buyers and command premium pricing.
Cons
High Development Costs & Complexity: Requires substantial capital investment, time, and navigating complex permitting, zoning, and construction processes.
No Existing Structure or Immediate Income: The property is a vacant lot, meaning no current habitable structure or rental income, requiring full build-out from scratch.
Market & Construction Risk: Development projects inherently carry risks related to construction delays, cost overruns, and future market demand for new homes.
