Condition Rating
Tear down
The property was built in 1925, making it nearly 100 years old. The listing explicitly states 'Approved Plans ready to build!' and markets the property as a 'prime lot' for a 'dream home,' indicating the value is in the land and the potential for new construction. The images provided are architectural renderings of a proposed new build, not photos of the existing structure's interior. The existing structure is implied to be a tear-down, as its condition is not highlighted and the focus is on future development.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Nestled in the highly sought-after North Laguna neighborhood, offering prestige and desirability.
Approved Building Plans: Plans are ready for submission to the city, significantly streamlining the development process and saving considerable time and effort for the buyer.
Ocean Views: The property boasts breathtaking views, a premium feature that enhances value and lifestyle in Laguna Beach.
Proximity to Amenities: Just moments from the ocean, renowned beaches, fine dining, and art galleries, offering an unparalleled coastal lifestyle.
Custom Build Opportunity: A rare chance to create a custom 'dream home' tailored to personal preferences in one of the most desirable coastal locations.
Cons
Demolition Required: The existing 1925-built duplex structure (1056 sqft) will likely require demolition to facilitate the construction of a new dream home, incurring additional costs and project time.
Significant Additional Investment: The listed price is for the lot and approved plans; the buyer will need substantial additional capital for the actual construction of the new home.
Development Project: This is a development opportunity rather than a move-in ready home, appealing to a niche buyer willing to undertake a construction project with its inherent risks and management.
