Built in 1908, this property is over 100 years old with no evidence of significant recent renovations. The exterior images show a very aged structure consistent with its build year and suggest deferred maintenance. The listing description explicitly emphasizes the property's 'potential to build above it' and 'make it into a business building,' indicating that the value lies primarily in the land and its redevelopment opportunities rather than the existing structure. Without interior photos, it's inferred that the kitchen, bathroom, and other systems are original or severely outdated, requiring complete replacement or demolition to realize the property's highest and best use.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strategic Downtown Location: Located in the heart of Los Angeles' produce and manufacturing district, just minutes from downtown, offering prime access to commercial hubs.
Significant Development Potential: The property offers immense potential to build vertically, allowing for expansion into a business building or other creative ventures, as explicitly stated in the description.
Mixed-Use Zoning Flexibility: Described as a 'mixed use property,' it provides versatility for various business applications and redevelopment opportunities.
Unique Market Position: As 'one of the few single family homes left in this area,' it presents a rare acquisition opportunity in a predominantly commercial zone.
High Investment Opportunity: Positioned as a 'big opportunity to use your business creativity and make money,' it appeals strongly to investors and developers seeking high-yield projects.
Cons
Limited Current Residential Appeal: With only 1 bed, 1 bath, and 924 sqft, its small size and location in a manufacturing district make it unsuitable for traditional residential buyers.
Age and Condition: Built in 1908, the property is likely to require substantial renovation, modernization, or even demolition to realize its full development potential.
Niche Buyer Pool: Its unique characteristics as a residential structure in a commercial zone with development potential narrow the target market to specialized investors and developers, rather than general homebuyers.
