Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1978, this property is significantly dated and requires substantial renovation. The interior images reveal worn, stained carpets, light blue painted wood floors, and highly specific, outdated color schemes (bright pink kitchen, blue and purple living areas). The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older granite countertops, and a mix of appliances, indicating a full overhaul is needed. Light fixtures and overall styling are also very old. The listing description itself states it 'awaits a creative owner to transform it into a personalized masterpiece,' which aligns with the need for extensive rehabilitation rather than minor updates. While not a tear-down, the property is far from move-in ready and would be uncomfortable for most buyers in its current state without significant investment.
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 = 161172, living area = 3600.
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Ocean Air School (9/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10). High School: Torrey Pines High School (9/10).
- Prime Coastal Location & Views

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Dated Construction & Renovation Required
Built in 1978, the property description suggests it requires a 'creative owner to transform it,' implying significant modernization and renovation efforts are likely needed.
- Limited Bathroom-to-Bedroom Ratio
With 4 bedrooms and 3,600 sq ft, the presence of only 2 bathrooms may be considered inadequate for a luxury estate of this size and price point, potentially necessitating an upgrade.
- High Entry Price with Additional Investment
The nearly $5 million list price, coupled with the implied need for substantial renovations, positions this property for a niche buyer prepared for a significant total investment.
