Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1957, shows signs of recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new wood-look laminate flooring throughout, and updated kitchen cabinets and countertops. However, the kitchen appliances (gas range) appear to be older models, and the range hood is a very basic, exposed duct type. No images of the bathroom were provided, which is a critical component for a full assessment. The exterior and yard appear basic and show signs of age, with a chain-link fence and minimal landscaping. The listing states 'Sold As Is,' indicating that major systems or components may require attention. While the interior has received some modern cosmetic touches, the overall age of the home, older appliances, and likely original major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, etc., not visible or detailed) suggest it requires minor updates and repairs to bring it to modern standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant Development Potential: The property boasts a substantial half-acre (21,560 sqft) lot with CR3 commercial zoning, offering immense potential for various business types or multi-use development.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Located south of the I-10 Freeway with quick access to the I-215 and I-210 interchanges, and close to Loma Linda University, VA Hospital, and Redlands, enhancing its commercial and residential appeal.
Investor-Centric Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as an excellent opportunity for investors, allowing for potential rental income from the existing house while developing the expansive commercial-zoned lot.
Large, Versatile Lot: The nearly half-acre lot provides ample space for commercial ventures, extensive vehicle storage (RV, boat), or future expansion, offering significant flexibility.
Flexible Residential Space: The existing house includes a bonus room that can be utilized as a family room or a third bedroom, adding adaptability to the current residential unit.

Cons

Sold As Is Condition: The property is sold 'as-is,' indicating that the buyer will be responsible for any necessary repairs, renovations, or upgrades, which could entail significant additional costs.
Older, Smaller Existing Structure: Built in 1957 with only 1128 sqft for 2 beds and 1 bath, the current residential structure is dated and relatively small, likely requiring substantial investment for modernization if not intended for demolition.
Inconvenient Laundry Setup: Washer and dryer hook-ups are located outside the house, which is a notable inconvenience compared to indoor laundry facilities.
