Condition Rating
Tear down
The MLS description explicitly states this is a 'prime teardown property' and highlights 'nearly completed RTI plans for a 3,000 sq ft, 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom luxury modern residence.' The property was built in 1947, making it over 75 years old. The provided image is a rendering of the *proposed* new construction, not the existing structure. Therefore, the current property is intended for demolition, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria where the value is based solely on the land and its potential for redevelopment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime West LA Location: Situated in the highly desirable Del Rey neighborhood, offering excellent access to beaches, major employment hubs (Sony, Amazon Studios), LAX, vibrant local markets, and a wide array of shopping and dining options.
Significant Development Potential: Marketed as a 'prime teardown property' on a generous 5,628 sq ft lot, providing an ideal canvas for builders, developers, or end-users to construct a custom luxury residence.
Advanced Planning & Permitting: Includes nearly completed RTI (Ready-To-Issue) plans for a substantial 3,000 sq ft, 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom luxury modern home with a 2-car attached garage, significantly de-risking and accelerating the development process.
Access to Quality Schools: Located near several public schools, including highly-rated options such as Farragut Elementary (9) and Culver City High (8), enhancing its appeal to families.
Investment Opportunity: Presents a rare chance to create substantial value by building a new luxury home in one of West LA's coveted and appreciating neighborhoods.
Cons
Teardown Condition: The existing 1947-built structure is explicitly a teardown, meaning the buyer is primarily acquiring land and plans, necessitating complete demolition and new construction costs.
High Capital Requirement: The $1.4M list price, combined with the substantial financial investment required for new luxury construction, demands significant capital, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
Construction Timeline & Risks: Despite RTI plans, the buyer will still face the considerable time, effort, and inherent risks associated with managing a large-scale construction project, including potential delays and budget overruns.
