Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1952, the property is marketed as a 'foundation for transformation,' yet it remains in a livable, maintained state. The kitchen has received mid-range updates, including granite countertops, a decorative tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. However, the rest of the home is significantly dated, featuring 1970s-style wood paneling, popcorn ceilings, and worn wall-to-wall carpeting. While the major systems appear functional, the home requires a comprehensive aesthetic renovation and likely infrastructure updates to meet current luxury standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Exceptional Ocean Views

    The property is positioned to capture stunning, irreplaceable ocean views, which serve as a primary value driver and a premium feature for coastal living.

  • Expansion Potential

    The residence offers a rare opportunity to add a second story to further elevate sightlines, providing significant upside for buyers looking to build equity.

  • Oversized Lot & ADU Potential

    With a 6,940 square foot lot, there is ample space for the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), ideal for rental income or guest housing.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Extensive Renovation Required

    The property is marketed as a 'foundation for transformation,' indicating that significant capital investment is needed to modernize the 1952 structure and finishes.

  • Dated Infrastructure

    Given the original 1952 construction date, buyers should anticipate the need for potential upgrades to aging electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems.

  • Permitting and Verification Hurdles

    The ability to expand or add a second story is subject to City of Pacifica approval, requiring the buyer to navigate potentially complex local building codes and height restrictions.
