Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1946, this property is explicitly described as requiring 'significant renovation' and 'substantial investment in updates, repairs, and modernization to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and aesthetics.' The presence of 'unverified & potentially unpermitted modifications' further indicates potential issues with safety, soundness, or structural integrity. While no interior images of the kitchen or bathrooms are provided, the overall age and stated need for extensive modernization strongly suggest these areas are outdated and in poor condition, requiring complete overhaul. The property is not move-in ready and needs substantial rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Large Lot Size: The property boasts a spacious 11,250 sqft lot, offering significant room for expansion, landscaping, or potential accessory dwelling units (ADU), enhancing its long-term value and utility.
Affordable Entry Point: Marketed as 'one of the most affordable homes in the area,' it presents an attractive opportunity for first-time buyers and investors seeking a lower entry cost into the market.
High Potential for Value Addition: The description highlights 'opportunity and advantage' and that 'with a little vision, this property can truly shine,' indicating substantial upside potential through renovation, customization, and expansion.
Convenient Location: Situated in San Bernardino with easy freeway access, the property offers practical advantages for commuters and provides good connectivity to surrounding areas.
Versatile Buyer Appeal: Explicitly ideal for 'first-time buyers, investors, or anyone looking for a great deal,' broadening its market appeal to a diverse range of purchasers.
Cons
Unverified & Potentially Unpermitted Modifications: There's a discrepancy between public records (3 beds) and the current configuration (2 beds) due to past modifications by unknown parties, raising concerns about permitting, structural integrity, and future resale.
Significant Renovation Required: Built in 1946, the property is an older home likely requiring substantial investment in updates, repairs, and modernization to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and aesthetics to meet contemporary standards.
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimation: The current listing price of $420,000 is 12% above the estimated market value of $366,462, suggesting it may be overvalued and could face challenges in appraisal or attracting offers at this price point.
