Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1955, this property shows significant signs of aging and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While some interior elements like the flooring and one bathroom shower appear to have been updated, the kitchen features dated cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, needing a full renovation to meet modern standards. A major concern is the exterior wall covered in OSB (oriented strand board) visible in one image, suggesting unfinished construction, low-quality additions, or potential code issues. The extremely small square footage (576 sqft for 3 beds/2 baths) is highly unusual and points to possible unpermitted additions or a very cramped layout. The presence of window AC units implies a lack of central cooling. These factors indicate that the property has significant defects and will require considerable investment to address structural integrity, safety, and overall modernization.

Great Schools: High School: Cerritos High School (10/10).
Strategic Location & Commuter Access: Positioned in the heart of Artesia with excellent access to major freeways (91, 605), facilitating easy commutes to Los Angeles and Orange County.
Award-Winning School District: Located within the highly-regarded ABC Unified School District, including access to top-rated schools like Cerritos High School (rated 10).
Income-Generating Potential: Features an additional room with a bathroom, presenting a clear opportunity for rental income or conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Proximity to Amenities: Conveniently located just a few miles from major shopping centers such as Cerritos Mall, Plaza 183, and Cerritos Towne Center.
Ideal for First-Time Buyers/Small Families: Described as a 'perfect starter home' with a single-story layout, appealing to a key demographic of first-time buyers and small families.
Cons
Limited Living Space: The listed square footage of 576 sqft is exceptionally small for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, potentially limiting comfort and functionality for residents.
Aging Infrastructure: Built in 1955, the property is older and likely requires significant updates, maintenance, or renovations to modernize systems and aesthetics, which could incur substantial costs.
Modest Lot Size: The lot size of 2675 sqft is relatively small, offering limited outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or future expansion compared to typical single-family homes.
