Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
The property was built in 1913, making it over 100 years old. While some cosmetic updates like flooring, kitchen cabinets, and paint have been done, the listing description explicitly states the existing structure is 'outdated' and 'likely requires extensive renovation or a complete tear-down.' The property analysis further emphasizes that the 'value is in the land and location,' implying that buyers will 'need to budget for significant new construction or a comprehensive overhaul.' The presence of new construction renderings in the image gallery reinforces the expectation that the existing structure is not the primary asset. The bathrooms are dated, and the heating/cooling systems appear to be non-central (wall units, portable AC), indicating a lack of major system updates. Therefore, despite being cosmetically livable, the property's value is clearly based on the land and its redevelopment potential, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria.

About 1614 The Strand
Have you always dreamed of building a home (or second home) on The Strand, only to watch prices drift higher and higher? Well, here is the opportunity to experience oceanfront living just a comfortable walk from the Pier and downtown, at a price that may surprise you. Imagine watching Pro Volleyball from your balcony, as you sip your favorite beverage- watching sailboats and surfers, dolphins and more, at sunset in the orange glow of days’ end. And on a balmy autumn afternoon, whitewater washing the shore in the final glint of daylight as you stare one more time looking for the green flash of the sun as it dips below the horizon. God ain’t making any more ocean front property here. The existing structure is a 1913 dwelling with 4 bedrooms. This is in the 30 foot height area of The Strand, making for three floors on grade, and better top floor views, as well as a roof deck! This location, just north of the Pier, is ideal due to the walkability to restaurants. Yet, still far enough away to stay quiet at night. It’s a unique life at the beach, and you deserve it!
