600 Miramar Ave, Westwood Park


3,143 square foot 4 bedroom 3 bath Mediterranean style home built in 1923. Last sold for $1.531 million earlier this month (6/2016). There were no interior photos to be found which in conjunction with the listing history (see below) leads me to believe that the interiors of this home might well be a scary mess.

Had this home been in better condition, it would have garnered around $2 million.

To date, no recent building permits have been pulled.

This property was listed for $2.5 million 2/16. Price was lowered to $2.28 million 3/16. Lowered again to $2.1 million 4/16. Down again to $1.7 million 5/16. Sold for $1.531 6/16.

Siblings built in 1904. No. 54 {left} has an unknown number of bedrooms and 1 bath in 1420 sq ft. No. 48 {right} has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in 1,250 square feet. No. 48 has obviously had some TLC. No. 54 needs some love, but it's nice to see what can be....

No. 54 last sold for $29K in 1975. This property is currently assessed at $58K. Property taxes for 2015-2016 are $679. Current estimates value this property at about $1.2 million. Judging by the exterior, I am guessing that this house is a fixer and with no recent permits on file I am also guessing that the interior is in mostly original condition. As I have said in the past, this can be both good and bad.
