Santa Monica, California 90402
Analysis of 439 Mesa Road, Santa Monica, California 90402 is currently available with a list price of $1,999,000. The property maintains a Tear down Condition Rating (10/100), reflecting significant deferred maintenance. This property is best suited for experienced investors or developers prepared for substantial renovation work. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Santa Monica Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for Experienced Investors and Fix-and-Flip Specialists.
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1951 (75 years old) with no mention of renovations. At nearly $2,000 per square foot in Santa Monica Canyon, the value is almost entirely in the land and views. The lack of interior photos and the age of the exterior structures suggest the home is in original condition and likely a candidate for replacement.
Situated in the prestigious 90402 zip code, this property offers a rare entry-level price point into one of the most sought-after and high-value neighborhoods in Southern California.
The hillside positioning provides serene canyon vistas and partial views of the Pacific Ocean, significantly enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal and long-term investment value.
With a 6,024 square foot lot and a modest existing structure, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for a custom luxury rebuild or a significant expansion to maximize the site's footprint.
The current residence is under 1,000 square feet with only one bathroom, which may be insufficient for modern buyer expectations without a substantial capital investment for renovation.
The hillside topography and the fact that the rear access via Upper Mesa Road is currently non-traversable create logistical complexities for construction and limit usable flat outdoor space.
Charming home set on hillside with great canyon view and partial view toward Pacific Ocean. Upper Mesa Rd is at rear of property, no sidewalk, steep slope, wood rail fence.
No exterior & parking available.
