Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1947, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer opportunity,' which is evident in the images. The kitchen is extremely dated with old, chipped cabinets, an outdated range and refrigerator, and a small wall-mounted AC unit, indicating a lack of central cooling. Flooring throughout appears worn, and light fixtures are basic and old. The overall condition suggests significant deferred maintenance and a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including a complete renovation of the kitchen and likely the bathroom (though not pictured).
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the desirable Meiner's Oaks area of Ojai, offering a sought-after community and lifestyle.
Significant Lot Size: A generous 7,840 sq ft lot provides ample outdoor space and potential for expansion or landscaping.
ADU Potential: The large lot explicitly allows for the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering future value enhancement or rental income opportunities (subject to county restrictions).
Value-Add Opportunity: Marketed as a 'fixer opportunity,' this property is ideal for buyers looking to customize, renovate, and build significant equity.
Established Neighborhood: Built in 1947, the home is part of a mature and settled community, often characterized by established infrastructure and a sense of permanence.
Cons
Condition (Fixer): The property requires substantial renovation and updates, indicating significant upfront investment and effort for the buyer.
Age of Property: Built in 1947, the home likely has outdated systems, infrastructure, and finishes, which could lead to unexpected repair costs and modernization expenses.
Limited Living Space: With only 756 sq ft, the current living area is relatively small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more expansive living quarters without significant expansion.
