Tear down
Built in 1969, this property is over 50 years old and shows no evidence of major renovations in the past five decades. The listing description explicitly states the home is 'ready to redo' or suggests building 'a new home of your own design,' indicating the existing structure's limited value. The kitchen features original 1960s wood cabinetry, mosaic tile countertops, and outdated appliances (coil-top range, old double ovens, vintage refrigerator). Bathrooms are severely dated with striped wallpaper, mosaic tile vanities, pink sinks, and even carpeted floors, which is a significant functional and aesthetic drawback. All major components, including style, finishes, and likely systems, are functionally obsolete and would require complete demolition or an extremely extensive and costly renovation, making the property's value primarily in its large lot and prime San Marino location.
Pros & Cons
Pros
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 = 20456, living area = 3557.
Premier San Marino Location: Situated in the highly sought-after heart of San Marino, offering proximity to amenities and access to the acclaimed San Marino Unified School District.
Generous Lot Size: An expansive lot exceeding 20,000 sq. ft. (nearly half an acre) provides ample space for privacy, extensive landscaping, or significant future development.
Significant Development Potential: The property offers a rare opportunity for a complete renovation ('ready to redo') or the construction of a custom new home, appealing to buyers seeking to create their ideal residence.
ADU Conversion Opportunity: The existing cabana with a full bath adjacent to the pool presents a strong potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enhancing property value and versatility.
Desirable West-Facing Rear Yard: The orientation of the rear yard ensures abundant natural light and potential for picturesque sunset views, optimizing outdoor living and entertainment spaces.
Cons
Extensive Renovation/Rebuild Required: The current home is described as 'ready to redo,' implying a substantial financial and time commitment for either a major overhaul or a complete tear-down and new construction.
Outdated Original Construction: Built in 1969, the existing structure likely features outdated systems, finishes, and floor plans that will require significant modernization to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
Recent Price Reduction: A notable price reduction from the original listing suggests potential challenges in market valuation or buyer perception of the property's current condition relative to its initial asking price.
