Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1907, this property is a 'diamond in the rough' requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The images reveal extremely dated interiors with worn hardwood floors, old carpeting, popcorn ceilings, and basic, outdated light fixtures. While no direct photos of the kitchen or bathroom are provided, their absence, combined with the overall condition, strongly suggests they are severely outdated and in very poor condition, likely needing complete renovation. The description emphasizes 'redevelopment or expansion' and 'build new,' indicating the current structure's limited value. Major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are almost certainly at the end of their lifespan and require extensive replacement.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Development Potential: The 5,100 sq. ft. lot is zoned R2, offering significant potential for redevelopment, expansion, or adding additional units, making it highly attractive to investors.
Investor Focus: Explicitly marketed as an 'Investor Opportunity,' highlighting its potential for renovation, adding units, or new construction.
Functional Features: Includes a basement, attic space, and an indoor laundry area, providing valuable utility and storage, especially for an older home.
Natural Light & Flexible Space: Large windows fill the open floor plan with natural light, and a small bonus room offers flexible use as an office or playroom.
Ample Parking: A long front driveway provides convenient and ample off-street parking, a significant advantage in the Los Angeles area.
Cons
Age and Condition: Built in 1907, the property is very old and likely requires extensive renovation and modernization to meet contemporary standards, as implied by 'diamond in the rough'.
Small Living Space: With only 864 sq. ft. for 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, the interior living space is relatively small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking a larger primary residence without expansion.
Overpriced Relative to Estimate: The current list price of $515,000 is 11% higher than the estimated property value of $507,932.18, suggesting it may be overpriced given its condition and required investment.
