More Insights
Built in 1957 (68 years old).
Condition: Built in 1957 and explicitly listed 'Sold As Is,' this property likely requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation of its major systems. While the interior benefits from recent cosmetic updates such as new wood-look laminate flooring, fresh paint, and refreshed kitchen cabinets and countertops, the kitchen still features an older range and basic lighting. Crucially, there are no images of the bathroom, which is often a key indicator of a home's overall condition. The outdoor washer and dryer hook-ups further suggest outdated infrastructure. The property analysis also highlights 'potential for significant deferred maintenance, outdated systems, and renovation costs,' indicating that despite the superficial improvements, the core components (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof, windows) are likely original or very old and will require significant investment.

Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: 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.
Significant Development & Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as an excellent investment opportunity, offering the ability to rent out the existing house while developing the substantial half-acre lot.
Commercial Zoning (CR3) & Large Lot Size: Zoned CR3 with a generous 21,560 sqft (half-acre) lot, providing immense flexibility for various commercial uses approved by the city, alongside the existing grandfathered residential use.
Strategic Freeway Access & Proximity to Key Institutions: Located south of the 10 Freeway with quick access to I-215 and I-210, and close to major employers/institutions like Loma Linda University, VA Hospital, and the city of Redlands.
Potential for Property Assembly: The availability of adjoining lots (2268 & 2278 Gardena) presents a unique opportunity for a buyer to expand their land holdings for larger-scale development or a more comprehensive project.
Flexible Use & Income Stream: The existing residential structure can generate rental income while future development plans are explored, offering immediate cash flow within a commercially zoned parcel.
Cons
Sold As-Is Condition & Age of Property: The property is sold 'As Is,' meaning the buyer assumes all responsibility for repairs and upgrades. Coupled with its 1957 build year, this suggests potential for significant deferred maintenance, outdated systems, and renovation costs.
Inconvenient Outdoor Utilities: The washer and dryer hook-ups are located outside the house, which is a significant inconvenience for residents, exposing appliances to weather and potential theft, and lacking modern indoor utility space.
Complex Due Diligence for Commercial Development: While commercially zoned, the description explicitly states 'Buyer's due diligence for allowed intended uses approved by the city,' indicating that navigating specific commercial development approvals and regulations could be a time-consuming and potentially costly process for the buyer.
