TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Although the property features excellent new systems including HVAC (2023), water heater (2024), and solar (2022), the core interior renovation dates back to a 2000 'studs up' rebuild. The kitchen's oak cabinetry and the overall interior finishes are approximately 24 years old, placing the aesthetic condition in the 'dated' category (>20 years) according to the criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- 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 = 94089, living area = 3418.
- Panoramic Views & Expansive Lot
Situated on a 2.16-acre hilltop, the property offers breathtaking panoramic views extending to Catalina Island, providing a rare sense of privacy and natural beauty in a tropical paradise setting.
- Modern Infrastructure & Efficiency
The home features significant recent capital improvements, including owned solar panels (2022), a new HVAC system (2023), and a new water heater (2024), ensuring energy efficiency and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3418, other record living area = 2800. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
- Low Bedroom-to-Square-Footage Ratio
With only three bedrooms across 3,418 square feet, the layout may feel inefficient for larger families or buyers specifically seeking a higher room count for the price point.
- Split-Level Layout Constraints
The split-level architectural design, while offering privacy, may be less desirable for buyers seeking a modern open-concept floor plan or those with mobility concerns regarding multiple stair transitions.
