More Insights
Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this property is over 50 years old. The listing explicitly describes it as a 'major fixer-upper or the perfect canvas for a complete teardown and new construction.' The images confirm an extremely dated interior, particularly the kitchen with its older white appliances, tile flooring, and basic cabinetry, and the bathrooms featuring pink/peach tiled countertops and fixtures, indicative of a style from the 60s or 70s. There is no evidence of major renovations within the last 50 years. The property's value is clearly based on its prime Manhattan Beach location and land, rather than the existing structure, which is beyond economical repair for modern living standards.
