This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $625,000—positioned well below the $635,874 Fair Market Value by 1%. This valuation gap offers $10,874 in Instant Equity for buyers. With a Condition Rating of 5, the home requires a full rehab to modernize its 1952 vintage interiors. The expansive lot provides significant upside for an ADU addition. This is a strategic acquisition ideal for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Contractors seeking a value-add project in La Mesa.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this 72-year-old property features an original 'vintage' bathroom and a galley kitchen described as needing 'personal culinary touches.' Given the age and lack of recorded renovations to major systems or interiors, it requires a full rehab to meet modern standards.
The home preserves its authentic 1952 charm with original hardwood floors and vintage bathroom tiling, offering a unique aesthetic for buyers seeking architectural character.
The expansive lot provides a significant opportunity for value-add projects, specifically offering ample space for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a large-scale outdoor entertaining area.
Ideally situated near La Mesa Village, the local trolley, and major freeway access (94 & 125), the property offers excellent connectivity and proximity to urban amenities.
With only 774 square feet of interior space and a single bathroom, the property's small footprint may be restrictive for families or those requiring a home office.
The galley kitchen and vintage features, while charming, likely require capital investment for modern upgrades to meet current functional and energy-efficiency standards.
