Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1925, this property benefits from significant system updates including electrical and copper plumbing, which are major positives for an older home. The description notes it's 'turn-key' and 'owner-loved,' suggesting good maintenance. However, while the kitchens and bathrooms are clean and functional, their style (white cabinets, basic dark countertops, simple fixtures, tiled shower/tub combos) appears dated, likely reflecting renovations from 15-30 years ago rather than recent modern updates. Flooring is predominantly well-maintained hardwood, but cooling is provided by wall-mounted split AC units, not central HVAC. Overall, the property is well-maintained and livable, but the cosmetic elements in key areas show their age and would require minor updates to meet contemporary aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Strong Income Potential: This duplex offers two turn-key 3-bedroom units, providing excellent potential for rental income or an owner-occupant to live in one unit and rent out the other, maximizing cash flow.
SB9 Development Opportunity: The property explicitly highlights SB9 potential, indicating significant future development opportunities for additional units or lot splits, which can substantially increase its long-term value.
Key System Upgrades: Recent updates to electrical and copper plumbing are major value-adds, reducing immediate capital expenditures and maintenance concerns for a new owner.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as 'owner-loved' and 'never rented,' the property suggests a high level of care and maintenance, presenting a turn-key opportunity for buyers.
Desirable Lot Configuration: Situated on a gated corner lot with separate driveways, the property offers enhanced privacy, security, and independent access for each unit, appealing to tenants and owner-occupants alike.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-10-10. The sold price is $815,000.00.
Age of Property: Built in 1925, despite recent updates, an older property may still present ongoing maintenance challenges or hidden issues not covered by the mentioned upgrades, such as foundation or roof integrity.
Lack of HVAC System Mention: The description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for tenant comfort and marketability in Southern California's climate.
Limited Cosmetic Update Details: While functional systems are updated, the description lacks specific details on modern cosmetic renovations in kitchens and bathrooms (beyond a jacuzzi tub), which might be desired by tenants or future buyers to maximize rental income or resale value.
