Condition Rating
Tear down

The property was built in 1937, and the images of the kitchen and utility areas strongly suggest no major renovations have occurred in over 50 years. The kitchen features extremely outdated white appliances, minimal and basic cabinetry, an old fluorescent light fixture, and worn flooring. The utility room also appears very basic with exposed beams. The listing description itself emphasizes the land's development potential, stating the existing home offers 'immediate potential remodel to your taste, live in it while you design and build, or rent it out for income during the planning process.' This indicates the house's value is secondary to the land, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria where the property's value is based solely on the land and its potential for redevelopment, and the structure is considered beyond practical repair for modern living standards.
Pros & Cons

Unmatched Coastal Location: Nestled just steps away from the sparkling blue waters of the Carlsbad coastline, offering breathtaking views and highly desirable proximity to the ocean.
Exceptional Development Potential: Zoned RD-M (Residential Density Multiple) on an impressive 20,609 sqft (.47 acre) lot, providing ample space for building a dream estate or developing multiple detached/attached homes with potential for a density bonus.
Rare & Coveted Opportunity: Properties of this size, zoning, and proximity to the coast are described as 'nearly impossible to find today,' making it an extraordinary and unique investment.
Immediate Use & Income Potential: The existing home offers options to remodel, live in, or rent out for income during planning, with additional living space near the garage for guests or rental.
Natural Beauty & Mature Landscaping: The property boasts natural beauty, mature landscaping, and a rare cork oak tree, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential for a luxurious setting.

Cons

Existing Home Condition & Age: Built in 1937, the current 616 sqft home is presented as having 'immediate potential remodel to your taste,' indicating it likely requires significant renovation or demolition for modern living standards.
Extensive Buyer Due Diligence Required: The listing explicitly states 'buyer to verify all information' regarding zoning and density bonus, placing the responsibility and potential cost of confirming development feasibility on the buyer.
Significant Investment Beyond Purchase: While offering vast potential, realizing the development opportunities will require substantial additional capital investment, time, and navigation of city regulations beyond the initial acquisition cost.
