Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1965, the property's exterior appears maintained but dated, consistent with its age. The listing explicitly states that 'KITCHEN, BATH REMODELS NOT COMPLETED' for the upper unit and suggests 'COMPLETE UPPER UNIT KITCHEN, BATH RENOVATIONS.' While the property is tenant-occupied, indicating functionality, the uncompleted state of these critical areas means they are significantly outdated or unfinished, requiring substantial renovation to meet current standards. This places the property in the 'fair' category, as it is functional but requires significant updates in key areas rather than minor repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unparalleled Oceanfront Location & Views: Prime corner lot in West Newport, offering spectacular panoramic ocean, coastline, Catalina, and pier views from a quiet, uncrowded, non-boardwalk beach.
Significant Income Potential: The property features two units, with the lower unit currently tenant-occupied ($6,675/month) and the upper unit having a proforma income of $13,000/month, providing immediate cash flow.
Exceptional Development Flexibility: Offers diverse options for future use, including completing existing renovations, converting to a single-family residence with ADU, creating Tenant In Common (TIC) ownership, or rebuilding a world-class custom home.
Rare & Unduplicatable Asset: Described as one of only two finest oceanfront corners in West Newport, with features (units, 3-car garage) that cannot be duplicated, ensuring exclusivity and long-term value.
Substantial Price Reduction: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price of $10,900,000 to $9,900,000, indicating a motivated seller and potential for a more favorable acquisition.

Cons

Incomplete Renovations: The upper unit's kitchen and bath remodels are not completed, requiring immediate capital investment from the buyer to finish and modernize.
Dated Structure & Potential for Major Renovation: Built in 1965, the 'mid-century' units may require substantial updates beyond the incomplete remodels, or a complete rebuild, to align with current luxury market expectations and maximize value.
Tenant Occupancy in Lower Unit: The lower unit is tenant-occupied, which could complicate immediate owner-occupancy or extensive renovation plans for that portion of the property.
