Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property is 70 years old and appears to have had minimal to no major renovations in decades. The kitchen features very outdated white appliances, basic flat-panel cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and a dated tile backsplash. The single bathroom is extremely outdated with an old fiberglass tub/shower insert, a small wall-mounted sink, and basic fixtures. Flooring includes worn carpet in one area and older hardwood/tile elsewhere. The description's 'With a little TLC' is an understatement, as the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization of key areas like the kitchen and bathroom, and likely other systems due to its age.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Coastal Location: The property is located on 9th Street, a short distance to the ocean, offering desirable beach proximity and easy access to shopping and the I-5 freeway.
Significant Expansion Potential: An extra-large 6100 sqft lot provides ample space for future additions or development, allowing buyers to customize and increase living area.
Valuable RV/Boat Storage: The large side yard with double door gates offers practical and secure storage for a small boat or RV, a significant advantage in coastal areas.
Original Ownership Opportunity: Being on the market for the first time presents a unique opportunity for buyers to acquire a property with original character and customize it to their taste.
Good School Access: The home is conveniently located near well-rated public schools, including Oneonta Elementary, Mar Vista Academy, and Mar Vista Senior High, within a mile's distance.
Cons
Requires Significant Renovation: The description explicitly states 'With a little TLC this can be your dream beach house,' indicating that substantial updates and investment will be needed.
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be inconvenient for families or multiple occupants and could impact resale value.
Compact Interior Space: At 970 sqft, the interior living space is relatively small for a three-bedroom home, potentially limiting comfort and modern functionality without expansion.
