Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1951, this property shows significant age, particularly in its critical areas. The kitchen features highly outdated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and dated linoleum/vinyl flooring and fluorescent lighting, all requiring a full renovation. Similarly, the bathroom is very dated with an old vanity, basic fixtures, 1970s/80s style tile, and matching linoleum/vinyl flooring, also necessitating a complete overhaul. While the property appears maintained and livable, the visual evidence suggests the last significant renovations to these areas occurred 30-50 years ago. Given the property's age and the lack of explicit modern upgrades, major systems like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are likely original or very old, indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Compton Early College High (9/10).
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex with two independent 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, each with a dedicated 1-car garage, providing excellent rental income potential.
Separate Utility Metering: Each unit benefits from separate gas, water, and electric meters, simplifying tenant billing and reducing landlord management overhead.
Generous Corner Lot: Situated on a spacious 6,116 sq. ft. corner lot, offering enhanced privacy, potential for expansion, and improved curb appeal.
Prime Location & Accessibility: The location offers convenient access to shopping, public transportation, and major freeways, making it attractive to potential tenants.
Private Outdoor Space: Each unit includes a private backyard with fruit trees, adding desirable outdoor living space and tenant appeal.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1951, the property is over 70 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and requiring significant investment for modernization.
Limited Bathroom Count: Each 2-bedroom unit features only one bathroom, which may be a drawback for some tenants or families and could impact rental desirability or market value.
Lack of Explicit Modern Upgrades: The description does not specify any recent renovations or modern amenities, implying the interiors and fixtures may be dated and could require immediate capital expenditure to attract premium tenants.
