Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1966 and features a kitchen and interior finishes that appear to be from a 15-30 year old renovation. While the listing describes it as a fixer-upper, the images show a clean, functional, and livable space that is primarily dated and in need of cosmetic updates and minor repairs rather than a total structural rehab.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Coastal Location
Situated in the highly desirable Seacliff area, the property is just a few hundred yards from the Beach Gate pathway and Seascape Beach entrance, offering elite coastal access.
- Ocean Views and Ambiance
The home features multi-level ocean views from the second floor and third-level solarium, allowing residents to both see the water and hear the waves.
- Significant Value-Add Potential
Priced as a fixer-upper with strong comparable sales in the area, this property offers a substantial opportunity for equity growth through modern renovations.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Fixer-Upper Condition
The property requires extensive upgrades and is currently unstaged, necessitating a buyer with the budget and vision for a full renovation.
- Trustee Sale Limitations
Being sold by an out-of-state trustee, the transaction may lack the detailed personal property history typically provided by a long-term owner-occupant.
About 526 Middlefield Drive
This one is simple. Priced as a fixer-upper, but ready as a primary or 2nd home for those that desire ... it has so much upside. Once a nicely upgraded and long-term pride of joy, it is now ready for the next owner to re-live the dream. Views? Yes! The ocean is seen from the 2nd level and the 3rd level solarium/turret. And waves can be heard. A few hundred yards from the Beach Gate pathway and Seascape Beach entrance ... it's Seacliff at its finest in location. Parking is plentiful with room for 3 cars off-street and the landscape is low maintenance and offers 2 above-ground garden beds for home-grown veggies. Come see and dream your affordable dream. Comps suggest one can do extensive upgrades and still be in-the-money. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, with 1 downstairs and 2 upstairs. We are not staged and are providing reports to help smooth a fully disclosed sale in spite of the fact that we have an exempt and out-of-state trustee seller. This one is a must see for all.
