The property maintains a Tear down Condition Rating (10/100), reflecting significant deferred maintenance.

Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Laguna Beach Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for Experienced Investors and Fix-and-Flip Specialists.
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1940, the property's current interior, particularly the kitchen (Image 18) and living areas (Images 7, 8, 11), is extremely dated, suggesting no major renovations in over 50 years.
