SUMMARY
Estimated Market Value
Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
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 The kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated, featuring vintage tiling and appliances from several decades ago.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.
