Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Built in 2005, this property falls within the 10-20 year age bracket for a 'good' rating. The home is move-in ready and features high-end architectural finishes such as Bianco Romana granite, custom wood veneer cabinetry, and Italian Statuarieta stone in the bathrooms. The kitchen is equipped with premium stainless steel appliances and the bathrooms feature luxury Dornbracht fixtures. While the property is approximately 20 years old, it has been exceptionally well-maintained with no visible deferred maintenance, though it lacks the 'newly built' or 'fully renovated within 5 years' status required for an excellent rating.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Architectural Significance

    Designed by renowned architect Michael Folonis, this home features a dramatic three-story atrium and soaring ceiling heights up to 20 feet, offering a unique and grand aesthetic.

  • Prime Coastal Location

    Situated in the highly desirable Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica, the property is just moments from the beach, high-end boutiques, and popular dining destinations.

  • Abundant Natural Light

    Positioned at the front of the building with glass on three sides and floor-to-ceiling windows, the residence is flooded with natural light and refreshing ocean breezes.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • High Association Fees

    The monthly association fee of $904 is relatively high for a small three-unit building, which may deter budget-conscious buyers.

  • Vertical Layout

    The multi-level design with a three-story staircase and mezzanine may be less appealing to buyers seeking a more accessible or single-level living arrangement.

  • Market Positioning

    A recent price reduction and the inclusion of a seller rate buy-down offer suggest the property may be facing challenges in the current high-interest-rate environment.
