Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Located in a prime pocket of Santa Monica, offering exceptional access to top-rated schools, the Metro line, Providence St. John’s Health Center, and vibrant commercial hubs like Montana Ave and Santa Monica Blvd, including the beach.
Extensive Modern Renovation: The duplex has undergone a comprehensive renovation, featuring new HVAC systems, updated electrical and plumbing, new exterior stucco, landscaping, and modern interiors with vaulted ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and recessed lighting.
High Income & Value-Add Potential: As a fully vacant duplex with R-3 zoning and preliminary ADU plans, it presents significant opportunities for rental income, owner-occupancy with supplemental income, and future value appreciation through additional development.
Move-in Ready & Vacant Status: The property is fully vacant and move-in ready, allowing for immediate occupancy or rental without the typical delays and costs associated with tenant relocation or pre-rental renovations.
Desirable Unit Configuration & Features: Each unit offers a highly sought-after 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout with open-concept living, stylish kitchens featuring stainless steel appliances and farmhouse sinks, in-unit laundry, and en-suite primary bathrooms.

Cons

Lack of Views: The property does not offer any significant views, which can be a disadvantage in a coastal market like Santa Monica where ocean or city views often command a premium.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: While there is an inviting outdoor deck and new landscaping, the description does not specify ample private outdoor space for each individual unit, which can be a desired amenity for duplex residents.
Age of Original Construction: Despite extensive renovations, the core structure dates back to 1924, which, for some buyers, may raise concerns about the original foundation or other underlying elements not covered by the recent upgrades.
