Tear down
TeardownExcellent
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1950 (76 years old) with no mention of renovations, the property is explicitly marketed as a development opportunity and 'blank canvas' for a new build, indicating the value is in the land rather than the existing structure.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11761, living area = 912.
- Exceptional Development Potential
The property features a rare, flat 11,761 sq. ft. lot, providing an expansive footprint for a custom coastal estate, ADU additions, or potential multi-unit development in a high-demand zone.
- Prime South Oceanside Location
Situated in the coveted 'South O' neighborhood, this location offers a premium coastal lifestyle with no HOA and easy walking or biking access to the beach, local boutiques, and trendy eateries.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =11761, other record lot size in square feet = 11946.
- Obsolete Existing Structure
The original 1950s cottage is small at only 912 sq. ft. and is marketed as a 'blank canvas,' indicating that the current dwelling likely requires a total teardown or massive renovation.
- High Price per Square Foot
At nearly $1M for a 2-bedroom fixer-upper, the list price reflects land value rather than the utility of the existing home, which may limit financing options for traditional residential buyers.
