Tear down
The property was built in 1953, making it 71 years old. The listing provides no evidence of major renovations within the last 50 years; instead, it mentions unpermitted additions (3rd bedroom, 2nd bathroom, 'office style' rooms), which often indicate a lack of professional upkeep and potential code issues. Crucially, all provided images are aerial views, with a complete absence of interior photos of the kitchen, bathrooms, or any other living spaces. This lack of interior representation, combined with the property's age and the explicit emphasis in the description on its 'mixed use commercial/residential' nature and potential for 'redevelopment' ('operate a business or redevelop it,' 'path of development,' 'also listed as commercial'), strongly suggests that the value is primarily in the land. The existing structure is likely considered to be beyond repair for comfortable residential living or would require extensive rehabilitation, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria where the property's value is based solely on the land and its potential for redevelopment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Commercial Location: Situated on Fontana's busiest street with high traffic flow and direct visibility across from a Stater Bros Market, ideal for business operations.
Mixed-Use Zoning & Versatility: Designated as mixed-use (commercial/residential), offering diverse opportunities for business operation, rental income, or future redevelopment.
Strategic Growth Corridor: Located 'on the path of development' and within walking distance of the new Chaffey College campus, promising future appreciation and increased demand.
Significant Redevelopment Potential: A substantial 26,400 sqft lot provides ample space for a new commercial or mixed-use project, aligning with the area's ongoing development.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $1.75M to $1.7M indicates a motivated seller and potential for a more favorable acquisition.
Cons
Unpermitted Structures/Modifications: Significant discrepancies between assessor records and actual property layout (beds/baths, office rooms) with unknown permitting status, posing legal and financial risks.
Age and Condition of Existing Structure: Built in 1953, the property is likely in an older condition, potentially requiring substantial renovation or demolition, adding to project costs.
High Investment Threshold: The $1.7M list price, coupled with the need to address permitting issues and potential redevelopment costs, represents a substantial initial investment for buyers.
