Condition Rating
Poor
This property, built in 1953, is explicitly marketed as a 'diamond in the rough' and sold 'AS IS,' indicating it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen features highly outdated tiled countertops, old cabinets, and vinyl flooring, clearly needing a complete renovation. While no bathroom images are provided, the property only has one bathroom for three bedrooms, which is insufficient for modern standards and likely equally outdated. The HVAC system consists of a dual-sided wall heater and window AC units, which are inefficient and outdated. Flooring includes worn carpet and worn hardwood, and the overall aesthetic is from several decades ago. Although some infrastructure updates (sewer, water main) have been done, these do not address the significant internal cosmetic and functional obsolescence, making the property uncomfortable to live in its current state without major investment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (10/10).
Development Potential: Zoned R2, offering a significant opportunity to add a second unit or redevelop the property entirely, enhancing its long-term value and investment appeal.
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Vista Del Oro neighborhood, known for its pleasant coastal breezes and established community of long-time residents.
Key Infrastructure Updates: Important and costly infrastructure updates, including a relined sewer line and a new water main shut-off, have already been completed, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Ample Outdoor Space: Features a large backyard with block wall fencing and a covered rear patio, providing generous outdoor living and entertaining space.
Convenient School Access: Located within walking distance to Leland Street Elementary School (0.20 miles) and close to San Pedro Senior High School (0.58 miles), ideal for families.
Cons
Condition & Renovation Needs: Described as a 'diamond in the rough' and sold 'AS IS,' indicating the property requires substantial renovation and financial investment to modernize and improve.
Limited Bathroom Facilities: The property currently features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be insufficient for modern living standards and likely requires an expansion during renovation.
Outdated HVAC System: Relies on a dual-sided wall heater and window air conditioning units, lacking a central HVAC system, which could lead to less efficient and less comfortable climate control.
