Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, the property has undergone some updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, but these renovations appear to be 15-25 years old. The kitchen features granite countertops, white cabinets, and a mix of older (cooktop) and newer (double oven, dishwasher) stainless steel appliances. The master bathroom has a more recently tiled shower but an older vanity. The river rock fireplace and exposed beam ceilings in the living area retain an older charm. While well-maintained and functional, many components show signs of being outdated and would benefit from further modernization to meet current standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Aurelia Pennekamp Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Manhattan Beach Middle School (9/10). High School: Mira Costa High School (9/10).
- Exceptional Location
Situated in the prime Mira Costa section of Manhattan Beach, the property offers unparalleled proximity to the beach, local parks, and downtown shopping, enhancing its desirability and long-term value.
- Access to Top-Rated Schools
The home is zoned for highly-rated schools including Pennekamp Elementary, Manhattan Beach Middle School, and Mira Costa High School, making it highly attractive to families.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Property Age & Potential for Updates
Built in 1952, the home may require significant investment for system upgrades, renovations, or could be viewed as a tear-down for new development, impacting immediate move-in readiness.
- No Ocean/City Views
The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a notable disadvantage in a coastal market like Manhattan Beach where views often command a significant premium.
- Relatively Small Square Footage for Price Point
With 1321 sqft, the interior living space is modest, especially considering the $2.29M list price, indicating that the value is heavily concentrated in the land and prime location rather than the existing structure.
