Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1948, making it an older home. While some cosmetic updates are visible, such as LVP flooring in the living room, newer kitchen cabinets and subway tile backsplash, and an updated bathroom vanity, these are partial renovations. The kitchen still features older floor tiles and standard appliances, and the bathroom retains an older tub and tiling. The overall condition suggests an aged home that has received occasional updates to remain functional and presentable, but not a comprehensive renovation. The listing description also emphasizes the property's 'potential for growth and development' and 'solid foundation for creating a custom home,' indicating that the current structure is a starting point for future work rather than a fully modernized residence.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Pre-Approved Development Plans: The property comes with paid and approved city plans for a substantial expansion, including an addition to the main residence, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), and a Junior ADU, significantly de-risking and fast-tracking future development.
High Income/Value Potential: The approved plans offer a clear pathway to significantly increase living space (totaling 2,487 sqft) and generate potential rental income from the ADU/JADU, making it an attractive investment for long-term growth.
Generous Lot Size: Situated on a spacious 7,198 sqft lot, there is ample room to accommodate the planned expansions and potential outdoor amenities, which is crucial for maximizing the property's utility and value.
Desirable Lake Balboa Location: The home is located in Lake Balboa, offering proximity to Lake Balboa/Anthony Beilenson Park, which enhances lifestyle appeal and contributes to the property's desirability within Van Nuys.
Strategic Investment Opportunity: Explicitly marketed for investors, first-time buyers, or those seeking a strategic investment, the property provides a solid foundation for creating a custom home and capitalizing on future potential.
Cons
Current Small Footprint & Age: The existing home is a modest 848 sqft with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, built in 1948, indicating it is likely outdated and will require significant renovation or the planned expansion to meet modern living standards.
Significant Additional Investment Required: While plans are approved, the buyer will need to undertake substantial construction, incurring considerable additional costs and time to realize the property's full potential and complete the planned expansions.
Price Discrepancy & Seller Motivation: The current listing price is approximately 14% higher than the estimated property value, coupled with a 'very motivated seller' and a significant price reduction from the original list price, which may suggest market resistance or an ambitious initial valuation.
