Condition Rating
Tear down
The property was built in 1957, making it over 50 years old. The listing description explicitly states, 'Standing house has been prepped for demo,' and encourages buyers to 'Build your dream home' or 'split the lots and build two homes.' This indicates the existing structure is considered beyond repair and is intended for demolition, aligning perfectly with the 'tear-down' criteria where the value is based solely on the land and its redevelopment potential. No interior images of the house were provided, further supporting the focus on the land.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Unparalleled Panoramic Views: Offers rare, private, and secluded bay, ocean, and downtown panoramic views from a prime North Pacific Beach location, a truly unique selling proposition.
Exceptional Development Potential: Includes 'almost permitted' plans for a sprawling 10,000 sq ft luxury estate, complete with a sport court, pool, guest house, and 10-car garage, significantly enhancing its future value.
Rare & Expansive Lot: A unique, secluded acre (42,400 sq ft) in Kate Sessions, noted as one of only eight of its size, providing significant space, privacy, and exclusivity in a desirable area.
Flexible Investment Options: Provides diverse opportunities for a buyer, including building a custom dream home, splitting the lot for two residences, or undertaking a major remodel, catering to various investment strategies.
Prestigious Location & School Access: Situated in highly sought-after North Pacific Beach, offering proximity to top-rated elementary schools (e.g., Sessions Elementary, Bird Rock Elementary) and desirable San Diego amenities.
Cons
Significant Upfront Investment Required: The existing structure is 'prepped for demo,' meaning the property is not habitable and requires immediate, substantial capital outlay for demolition and new construction beyond the purchase price.
High Price Point & Total Project Cost: Listed at nearly $5 million, this represents only the land and demolition-ready structure, implying a multi-million dollar total project cost for development, limiting the buyer pool.
Extended Development Timeline: Buyers must anticipate a lengthy period for demolition, final permitting, and construction of a new custom home, delaying occupancy and potential returns on investment.
