Built in 1907, this Craftsman home appears well-maintained and livable, featuring original wood trim and hardwood flooring. However, it is functionally outdated with only one bathroom and likely aged systems. The listing's heavy emphasis on redevelopment potential and the absence of kitchen or bathroom photos suggest these areas require modernization to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7513, living area = 1256.
Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Situated in the heart of Santa Monica, the property offers immediate proximity to the beach, luxury shopping, and world-class dining in one of LA's most coveted neighborhoods.
Given the 1907 construction date, the home likely requires significant capital investment to update major systems and interior finishes to modern standards.
The current configuration of only one bathroom for a two-bedroom plus loft residence is insufficient for the $3.395M price point and modern buyer expectations.
The listing price is heavily weighted toward land value and development potential, resulting in a high cost basis for the existing 1,256 square feet of living space.
