More Insights
Built in 1924 (101 years old).
Condition: Built in 1924, this property is 100 years old. The MLS description explicitly states the potential to 'redevelop/re-imagine the home into brand new duplex or renovate/optimize the existing structure,' and lists 'Age of Structure & Renovation Needs' as a weakness, indicating it 'requires substantial renovation or complete redevelopment.' The images confirm this, especially the bathroom, which is in an extreme state of disrepair with exposed walls, damaged fixtures, and appears unlivable. Other interior spaces show significant age, outdated finishes, and poor maintenance. The property's value is clearly based on its R-2 zoned land and redevelopment potential, not the existing structure's livability.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Santa Monica Location: Situated in the highly coveted Pico corridor of Santa Monica, offering a blend of urban convenience and quiet residential charm.
Redevelopment Potential (R-2 Zoning): The R-2 zoning on a 3,200 SF lot provides significant opportunity to redevelop into a brand new duplex or extensively renovate the existing structure, maximizing value.
Excellent Walkability & Transit Access: Exceptional walkability to the 17th Street Metro, local shops, and cafes, promoting a convenient car-free lifestyle.
Proximity to Key Amenities: Strategically located within 1.5 miles of Santa Monica beach/pier, 3.3 miles from Abbot Kinney Blvd, and 0.5 miles from Santa Monica College.
Income Property Classification: Classified as a Residential Income property with a Duplex sub-type, highlighting its potential for rental income generation or multi-unit occupancy.
Cons
Age of Structure & Renovation Needs: Built in 1924, the existing structure likely requires substantial renovation or complete redevelopment, representing a significant upfront investment.
Absence of Views: The property does not offer any notable views, which can be a drawback in a premium coastal market where views often command higher values.
Limited Lot Size: The 3,200 SF lot, while R-2 zoned, is relatively small, potentially limiting extensive redevelopment options or outdoor living space for a multi-unit property.
