Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1955 and on the market for the first time in decades, the property is over 30 years old with no recorded renovations. The listing explicitly calls for a contractor to 'restore' and 'renovate' the home, indicating original systems and significant deferred maintenance, though the 'solid foundation' suggests it is a rehab project rather than a complete tear-down.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7458, living area = 995.
The expansive 7,458-square-foot lot provides significant potential for home expansion, a large outdoor entertaining area, or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Ideally situated near major Southern California attractions, professional sports venues, and convenient freeway access, offering high desirability and long-term value.
With under 1,000 square feet of living space and only one bathroom, the current footprint is small for modern family standards and may require a costly addition.
The 1955 original condition suggests the need for significant capital investment to update aging systems and finishes to meet contemporary building codes and buyer expectations.
First time on the market in decades, 8842 Calico presents a rare opportunity to create the home you've always envisioned. Lovingly held by the same family for many years, this property is ready for its next chapter and awaits a new owner with the imagination to restore, renovate, and make it their own. Offering approximately 995 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the home sits on a generous 7,458-square-foot lot, providing plenty of room to reimagine the existing space or explore future possibilities. Whether you're looking to update the current floor plan, create a beautiful outdoor entertaining area, or simply invest in a property with tremendous upside, this home offers a solid foundation for your vision. Ideally located near schools, shopping, dining, parks, amusement parks, professional sports venues, and convenient freeway access, you'll enjoy the benefits of an established neighborhood while adding your own personal style and value.
