Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1941, this vintage cottage is well-maintained and retains its original architectural character, but it lacks modern updates. While the home is charming and livable, the kitchen and bathrooms are dated, and the property is being marketed primarily for its land value and potential for expansion or redevelopment. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but showing significant signs of being outdated compared to current quality standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7200, living area = 1170.
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Harbor View Elementary School (9/10). High School: Corona Del Mar High School (9/10).
- Expansive Lot & Development Potential
The property sits on a generous 7,200-square-foot lot, offering a rare and significant footprint for expansion or the construction of a custom estate in a high-demand coastal enclave.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy

- High Price per Square Foot
