Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1939 beach bungalow is well-maintained and livable but features dated finishes throughout. The kitchen utilizes older tile countertops and white appliances, and the overall interior—while featuring charming vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors—has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation in several decades. It is a classic 'fixer-upper' or 'entry-level' coastal home that requires cosmetic and likely system updates to meet contemporary standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Coastal Location

    Situated in the highly desirable Rio Del Mar neighborhood, the property offers exceptional proximity to the beach, Seascape Golf Course, and Deer Park Shopping Center, ensuring high demand and lifestyle appeal.

  • Architectural Character

    This 1939 beach bungalow features timeless elements such as vaulted ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a classic brick fireplace, providing a charming foundation for a coastal retreat.

  • Significant Development Potential

    Set on an expansive 5,271-square-foot lot with a flexible single-level layout, the property presents a rare opportunity for expansion, modernization, or a complete custom rebuild in a premier community.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Modernization Needs

    As a classic 1939 structure, the home likely requires substantial investment in updates and repairs to meet contemporary standards for coastal luxury and functional efficiency.

  • Loss of Covered Parking

    The conversion of the original garage into a dining area eliminates traditional covered parking and enclosed storage, which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing vehicle protection.
