More Insights

Built in 1960 (65 years old).
Condition: This 1960-built duplex presents a mixed bag of conditions. While the exterior has seen recent significant upgrades (new roof 2024, fresh paint and gutters 2025), and the downstairs unit boasts a beautifully updated, modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, contemporary appliances, and new bathrooms, the upstairs unit tells a different story. The upstairs kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older tile countertops, and tile flooring. At least one upstairs bathroom is significantly outdated with a yellow bathtub and older fixtures. Although the upstairs master en-suite shower has been redone, and the living areas have hardwood floors and recessed lighting, the overall condition of the upstairs unit's kitchen and secondary bathroom would require substantial renovation to meet current quality standards, pulling the property's overall condition into the 'Fair' category despite the excellent updates in the downstairs unit and exterior.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Alta Vista Elementary School (9/10). High School: West High School (9/10).
Versatile Income Potential: This duplex offers significant flexibility for owner-occupancy with rental income, multi-generational living, or full investment, supported by existing short-term leases.
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in highly desirable Redondo Beach, known for strong long-term appreciation, proximity to the beach, award-winning schools, dining, and entertainment.
Recent Major Exterior Upgrades: The property benefits from a new roof (2024), fresh exterior paint, and new gutters (2025), significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for exterior maintenance.
Ocean Views & Private Outdoor Spaces: The upstairs unit features a large ocean-view balcony, while the downstairs unit offers a private deck and backyard, enhancing lifestyle and appeal.
Updated Units & Desirable Amenities: Both units include modern updates (e.g., new kitchen/baths in downstairs, redone shower upstairs), private laundry, fireplaces, and dedicated garage parking.

Cons

High Price Point & Recent Adjustment: The property's substantial list price and recent $200,000 reduction may suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially impacting perceived value.
Age of Construction: Built in 1960, the property's underlying structure and some systems are over 60 years old, which could lead to unforeseen maintenance or replacement needs despite recent cosmetic updates.
Compact Lot Size: With a lot size of 3660 sqft, the property offers a relatively compact footprint, which may limit outdoor expansion potential or appeal to buyers seeking larger grounds.
