Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Excellent
TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1953, the property has undergone significant recent renovations that place it in the excellent category. Key systems are nearly new, including a roof replaced in 2020 and central air installed in 2018. The kitchen and both bathrooms feature modern updates (granite counters, stainless appliances, contemporary tiling, and vanities) that appear to be less than 5 years old. With fresh interior/exterior paint and refinished original hardwoods, the home is in mint, move-in condition.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Modernized Infrastructure
The home features significant recent upgrades including a 2020 roof, 2018 central air conditioning, and a new water heater, offering peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
- Coastal Lifestyle Location
Ideally situated in a prime Imperial Beach pocket, the property is minutes from the sand, pier, and Seacoast Drive, providing excellent proximity to local dining and beach activities.
- Versatile Outdoor Space
The generous 6,300 sqft lot is fully fenced and highly functional, featuring mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, and a chicken coop, perfect for sustainable outdoor living.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
- Limited Living Area
With only 1,225 square feet of living space for a three-bedroom configuration, the interior layout may feel compact for buyers seeking more spacious common areas.
- School District Ratings
The local public schools serving the area currently hold lower ratings (3-4 out of 10), which could be a concern for families focused on academic performance.
About 1238 Delaware St
Tucked into one of Imperial Beach's best nooks, this home delivers where it counts. Original hardwood floors run throughout, and a layout that gives you real room to live and grow into. It's been freshly painted inside and out, with thoughtful updates along the way- the roof replaced in 2020, new water heater, and more. Kitchen is outfitted with stainless appliances and granite counter tops. The primary suite is a true retreat, with its own bathroom and a walk-in closet. French doors open to a patio that overlooks the backyard. Newer central air (2018) keeps the whole place comfortable year-round. The yard is fully fenced and genuinely usable: real grass, raised beds, and a chicken coop already in place. Home features mature fruit trees, and updated landscaping front and back. You're minutes from the sand, the pier, Seacoast Drive, and the restaurants and shops that give IB its character, with easy access to the 5 and quick trips to Coronado, downtown, and everything else San Diego County has to offer.
