The first bedroom and bathroom are conveniently located on the first floor while the primary room with its en-suite bathroom is on the second floor towards the rear of the property. And what is the best part of this back unit? It would have to be the balcony sitting above the 2 car garage! Whether used to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, this private balcony with views of the palm tree lined streets is ideal to enjoy the beautiful Cali weather LA is so famous for!

Condition Rating
Good

This property features two distinct units. The back house (ADU), newly constructed in 2020, is in excellent condition with modern finishes, recessed lighting, and contemporary kitchen and bathroom styles. The front house, built in 1914, has undergone significant functional updates including central air conditioning and heating, updated plumbing/electrical, and a roof replaced approximately 10 years ago. While some cosmetic elements in the front house (e.g., living room tile, fireplace) appear dated, the property as a whole is move-in ready with major systems functional and within their expected lifespan, largely due to the new ADU and the substantial improvements to the main house.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Dual Dwelling & Income Potential: Features two independent houses on one lot, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or significant rental income opportunities.
Modern Back Unit: The newly constructed back house (2020) offers contemporary design, modern amenities, and reduced maintenance, enhancing overall property value.
Prime Central Location: Highly accessible and centrally located, with close proximity to USC, Metro station, major entertainment venues (Crypto/Sofi Stadiums), beaches, and LAX.
Updated Front House Systems: The front house boasts significant upgrades including central AC/heating, paid-off solar panels, updated plumbing/electrical, and a 10-year-old roof.
Desirable Back Unit Features: The back unit includes a convenient first-floor bedroom/bathroom and a private balcony, offering enhanced comfort and outdoor living space.

Cons

Age of Front Structure: Despite updates, the front house was built in 1914, which may raise concerns about the longevity of certain original components or require ongoing maintenance typical of older homes.
Increased Management Complexity: Owning two separate dwellings on one lot, while offering income potential, may entail increased management responsibilities for an owner-occupant or landlord.
Limited Individual Outdoor Space: With two houses on a 5,447 sqft lot, the individual private outdoor space for each unit might be more limited compared to a single-family home on a similar lot.
