Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1949 and on the market for the first time in 40 years, the property is significantly dated. The kitchen features original-style cabinetry and older appliances, while the presence of a window AC unit indicates a lack of modern central HVAC. Given the age and lack of major renovations in over 30 years, the home requires a full rehab to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Mission Hills Location
Situated in the highly sought-after South Mission Hills neighborhood, this property offers exceptional proximity to Little Italy, the airport, and local beaches, ensuring strong long-term desirability and value.
- Significant Development Potential
The 5,000 sq. ft. elevated lot provides a rare 'blank canvas' opportunity with downtown skyline views, offering ample space for a major home expansion, ADU, or custom landscape design.
- Classic Architectural Charm
This 1949 bungalow retains its original post-war character with oak hardwood floors and timeless tile work, having been meticulously held by the same owner for over 40 years.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Living Space
At only 693 square feet, the current interior footprint is exceptionally small for a two-bedroom home, which may necessitate immediate additional investment for expansion.
- High Price per Square Foot
The list price reflects the premium land value and location rather than the existing structure, potentially challenging buyers who require more move-in-ready square footage at this price point.
