This Authentic 1910 California Cottage is listed at $1,525,000, representing a stable entry point near its $1,511,459 Fair Market Value. Holding a Condition Rating of 4, the residence is well-maintained but offers clear modernization upside in the kitchen and bathrooms. Situated in a Prime Coastal Location steps from Main Street and the beach, the property features a City Lights view, private garden, deck, and patio. This is a high-demand asset for Owner-Occupants seeking a seaside lifestyle or Buy-and-Hold Investors targeting long-term appreciation.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1910 cottage is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it shows significant signs of being outdated in key areas. The kitchen features dated blue laminate countertops and older wood cabinetry, while the bathroom is very basic with older fixtures. The presence of a wall-mounted heater instead of central HVAC and the overall age of the structure, despite cosmetic updates like paint and refinished hardwood floors, align with the 'fair' criteria of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but requiring modernization.
Situated in a highly sought-after Santa Monica pocket, this home is within walking distance to the beach, Main Street's vibrant dining scene, and the iconic Santa Monica Pier.
Built in 1910, this classic California cottage features timeless elements like hardwood floors, a romantic fireplace, and a versatile upstairs loft that preserves its historic appeal.
The property is fully gated and surrounded by mature privacy hedging and a drought-resistant garden, offering a secluded sanctuary in a dense urban environment.
The requirement for an accepted offer prior to interior viewing creates a significant barrier for entry and may deter many qualified buyers from pursuing the property.
With only 1,215 square feet of living space on a modest 2,515 square foot lot, the property offers limited room for expansion or large-scale entertaining.
