Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1960, presents a mixed condition. While one bathroom has been recently and tastefully updated with modern tiles and fixtures, the kitchen is significantly outdated, featuring original-style cabinetry, an old sink, and likely older appliances. The presence of window air conditioning units indicates a lack of central HVAC, which is a major functional deficiency. Overall, the home is aged and requires substantial updates to the kitchen and climate control systems to meet current living standards, despite the recent bathroom renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Income Potential: The property consists of two separate 3-bedroom, 1-bath houses side-by-side, making it an ideal residential income property or suitable for multi-generational living.
Prime Location & Amenities: Situated very near Mentone Blvd, the property offers convenient access to shopping areas, including a new Stater Bros Market and the new City Hall, enhancing its appeal to tenants or residents.
Versatile Property Type: As a duplex, it provides flexibility for various investment strategies, such as renting out both units, living in one and renting the other, or accommodating extended family.
Generous Lot Size: The 7800 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space, which is a valuable asset for a duplex property and can enhance tenant satisfaction or owner enjoyment.
Recent Price Adjustment: The list price has been reduced from $775,000 to $750,000, potentially indicating a motivated seller and offering a more attractive entry point for prospective buyers.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1960, the property is likely to require significant updates to its systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and aesthetics to meet modern standards and maximize rental income or resale value.
Limited Bathroom Count per Unit: Each 3-bedroom house only features one bathroom, which can be a significant functional limitation for families or multiple occupants, potentially impacting desirability and rental appeal.
Compact Unit Size: With a total of 1680 sqft for two 3-bedroom units, each unit is approximately 840 sqft, which is relatively compact for a 3-bedroom layout and may feel cramped for some occupants.
