Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1923, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'rehab project,' which is evident throughout the images. The kitchen features extremely outdated and damaged cabinets, worn countertops, and stained linoleum flooring, indicating a need for a complete renovation. The bathroom is similarly dated with old tiles, fixtures, and a basic vanity. Flooring throughout is worn, and light fixtures are old. The overall condition suggests significant deferred maintenance and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to major components and systems.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Investment Potential: Marketed as a prime 'rehab project' with 'strong potential for value-add or long-term appreciation,' making it highly attractive to investors.
Desirable Neighborhood & Location: Situated in a 'pride-of-ownership neighborhood' with 'convenient access to shopping, dining, freeways, and schools,' enhancing its long-term appeal.
Generous Lot Size: A 6,716 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space and potential for future expansion, landscaping, or additional amenities.
Proximity to Mater Dei High School: Located within a short walking distance to Mater Dei High School, a notable educational institution, which can be a significant draw for families.
Functional Layout with Bonus Room: Offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an additional bonus room, providing a versatile foundation for a family home post-renovation.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Explicitly described as a 'rehab project' and 'hidden gem,' indicating substantial investment and work needed to modernize and maximize its value.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1923, the home likely requires significant updates to its infrastructure, systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical), and aesthetics to meet current standards and expectations.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property details explicitly state 'view: None,' which may detract from its appeal for buyers seeking specific scenic outlooks.
