Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Poor
TeardownExcellent

Property is extensive renovation needed.

Built in 1920, this property is marketed primarily as a development opportunity rather than a move-in ready home. The kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated, featuring vintage tiling and appliances from several decades ago. While the listing mentions 'great bones,' the interior shows significant age-related wear, and the inclusion of approved plans for a new 3,816 sq ft residence confirms that the existing structure requires a total rehabilitation or demolition to reach its highest and best use.

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 = 23690, living area = 2133.

  • Premier Location & Schools

    Situated in San Marino's prestigious Mission District, the property offers access to a top-rated school district and a highly desirable, tree-lined neighborhood near Mission Village.

  • Development Readiness

    The property comes with approved plans for a 3,816 sq ft Spanish-style residence, significantly reducing the timeline and complexity for buyers looking to build a custom luxury home.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =23690, other record lot size in square feet = 20274.

  • Extensive Project Scope

    Marketed primarily as a development opportunity, the existing 1920s structure likely requires a total rebuild or massive renovation to realize its full market potential.

  • Significant Price Correction

    A $700,000 reduction from the original list price suggests the property faced initial overvaluation or challenges in attracting buyers for its current 'as-is' condition.
