Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1926, is in a state of significant disrepair and requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen is extremely outdated with very old cabinets, appliances, and flooring, and the ceiling shows visible staining and peeling. Throughout the house, popcorn ceilings are stained, light fixtures are severely dated, and flooring appears worn and old. The listing description itself explicitly states it's an 'investor opportunity' and 'perfect for a remodel, rebuild,' indicating the current condition is far from move-in ready. While not explicitly 'tear-down' as a remodel is suggested, the extent of necessary repairs and updates, particularly in the kitchen and general interior finishes, aligns with the 'poor' condition criteria, suggesting potential issues with major systems and making it uncomfortable or potentially unsafe in its current state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Desirable Neighborhood: Located in one of Artesia's most quiet and desirable neighborhoods, just minutes from Cerritos, enhancing its appeal and convenience.
Exceptional School District Access: Situated within the highly sought-after ABC School District, with access to top-rated schools like Carver Elementary and Cerritos High School (rated 10), a major draw for families.
High Investment & Development Potential: Described as an 'exceptional investment property' with 'endless potential' for remodel, rebuild, or income generation, making it attractive to investors, flippers, and developers.
Strong Buyer Demand & Rarity: The listing highlights 'strong buyer demand' and states that 'properties like this are rare,' indicating a competitive market for this type of asset.
Good-Sized Lot: The property sits on a good-sized lot (4462 sqft), offering ample space for potential expansion or landscaping, which is valuable in a dense area.
Cons
Age and Implied Condition: Built in 1926, the property is likely in need of substantial renovation or a complete rebuild, as suggested by its 'remodel, rebuild' potential, implying considerable upfront investment.
Small Living Space: With only 696 sqft, 2 beds, and 1 bath, the current living space is quite small, which might limit its appeal to larger families or those seeking more spacious accommodations without significant expansion.
Listed Above Estimated Value: The current list price of $600,000 is above the estimated property value of $560,661.295, indicating a potential overpricing that could deter buyers looking for immediate equity or a bargain.
