Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1954 and marketed as a 'blank canvas,' this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen and bathroom are severely outdated with old appliances and fixtures, the hardwood flooring shows significant wear, and the overall interior reflects decades of deferred modernization, consistent with the 'poor' condition criteria for homes needing major updates.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Ocean Beach Elementary School (10/10).
- Prime Coastal Location
Situated just two blocks from the beach and under half a mile from Newport Avenue’s vibrant shops, dining, and the iconic pier, offering an unbeatable Ocean Beach lifestyle.
- Rare On-Site Parking
Includes alley-accessible parking, which is a significant premium and a rare convenience in this high-density beach neighborhood where street parking is extremely limited.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Significant Renovation Required
Marketed as a 'blank canvas' and built in 1954, the home likely requires a substantial additional investment to modernize the interior and address potential age-related maintenance.
- High Price per Square Foot
With a list price of $1.1M for only 712 square feet of living space, the property represents a high entry cost that may be difficult to justify for buyers not looking for a total redevelopment project.
