Condition Rating
Tear down
The property was built in 1928, making it over 95 years old. The listing description explicitly states, 'Value is in the land,' which is a strong indicator that the existing structure is not considered a primary asset. While the interior photos show some dated renovations (likely 15-30 years old, with older style cabinets, tile flooring, and basic appliances), these are not extensive enough to negate the age of the home or the agent's assessment of its value being solely in the land. A buyer would likely demolish the existing structure to maximize the potential of the large, multi-parcel lot.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Land Value & Development Potential: The property includes 3 parcels totaling 47,153 sqft of mostly level and flat land, with the listing explicitly stating 'Value is in the land.' This offers substantial potential for future development, expansion, or subdivision.
Dual Street Access: Access from both Poplar and Sequoia Avenues enhances the property's versatility, accessibility, and potential for multiple uses or future development layouts.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price drop from $1.3M to $1.2M indicates increased seller motivation and presents a more attractive entry point for potential buyers.
Spacious Lot Size: At 47,153 sqft (over an acre), the property offers ample space for various uses, privacy, or potential for additional structures beyond the existing residence.
Established Location: Located in Fontana, an established area, which can offer stability and access to local amenities, despite the age of the structure.
Cons
Age and Condition of Residence: Built in 1928, the existing 1803 sqft home is very old. The description 'Value is in the land' strongly implies the house itself is in poor condition, outdated, or considered a tear-down, requiring significant investment for renovation or replacement.
Requires Comprehensive Evaluation: Given the age of the property and the emphasis on land value, buyers will need to conduct thorough due diligence, including inspections for structural integrity, systems (plumbing, electrical), and potential environmental concerns.
Data Inconsistencies: The provided on-market date (2025-03-27) and price change date (October 2025) are in the future, which creates confusion regarding the property's current listing status and market history.
