Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1957, has received recent cosmetic updates including new laminate flooring, fresh paint, updated kitchen cabinets, and a fully renovated bathroom with modern fixtures. However, major systems and amenities remain outdated, such as the lack of central air conditioning (only wall units visible), older windows, and inconvenient outdoor washer/dryer hookups. The kitchen appliances are also older. The 'Sold As Is' condition, combined with these factors, indicates that while the interior is superficially move-in ready, significant upgrades to major systems are required to meet modern comfort and convenience standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 21560, living area = 1128.
The property offers significant opportunities for investors, including renting out the existing house, developing the half-acre lot, and potential for commercial uses due to CR3 zoning. The availability of adjoining lots further enhances development prospects.
A substantial 21,560 sqft (half-acre) lot with CR3 commercial zoning provides immense flexibility for various business types, vehicle storage (RV, boat), or future development, which is a rare asset for a residential property.
Built in 1957 and sold 'As Is,' the property likely requires significant updates, repairs, or renovations, which will incur additional costs and effort for the buyer.
The commercial zoning and 'grandfathered' residential status necessitate thorough buyer due diligence to confirm allowed intended uses and development possibilities with the city, adding complexity and potential uncertainty to the investment.
The existing 1128 sqft house is relatively small for a half-acre lot, and the outdoor washer/dryer hook-ups suggest a lack of modern indoor amenities, potentially limiting its appeal as a primary residence without significant upgrades.
Excellent opportunity for a first time or experienced investor. Rent out the front house and develop the half acre. Lots of options as an investor. This house is located south of the 10 Freeway with quick access to the I-215 and I-210 Freeway Interchange. Close to Loma Linda University, VA Hospital and Redlands. Commercial zone CR3 adjacent to the Rock Church. Fenced front and back yard. Bonus room that can be used as family room or third bedroom. The house is grandfathered in on the commercial lot. Huge potential with half an acre (21,560 sqft. lot) with different types of businesses approved by the city. Store your RV, boat or vehicles. Buyer's due diligence for allowed intended uses approved by the city. Sold As Is. Adjoining lots also available (2268 Gardena. APN-0283-031-02-0000 & 2278 Gardena. APN-0283-031-03-0000). Washer and dryer hook-ups outside the house.
