The property includes a beach cottage that was remodeled in 2020 with new windows and a new roof. The kitchen and bathrooms in the existing cottage appear functional but not high-end. Given the age of the original structure (built in 1924) and the scope of the 2020 remodel, the condition is best described as fair. The value is primarily in the land and the approved plans for a new luxury home.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Approved Plans for Luxury Home: The property comes with fully approved construction drawings from the City of Newport Beach for a new, three-story single-family dwelling, saving significant time and effort.
Ocean View Potential: The property is located just one row from the ocean and offers stunning ocean views, especially from the proposed roof deck of the new construction.
Income Potential: The existing beach cottage and detached efficiency studio provide immediate rental income opportunities while planning or executing the new construction.
Prime Location: Located on Balboa Peninsula, the property offers a desirable coastal lifestyle with proximity to beaches, harbor, restaurants, and nightlife.
New Construction Amenities: The approved plans include modern amenities such as four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, an ADU, a three-story glass elevator, and ample parking.

Cons

Small Existing Living Space: The current beach cottage is only 432 sqft, which may be too small for some buyers looking for immediate living space.
Construction Required: Realizing the full potential of the property requires undertaking a significant construction project, which involves time, cost, and potential challenges.
Year Built: The original structure was built in 1924, which may present challenges or limitations during the new construction process, despite the remodel in 2020.
