Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1919, this property has received some significant updates to its core structure, including a newer roof, upgraded foundation, and some flooring, walls, and doors, as stated in the description. This prevents it from being rated 'Poor' due to structural integrity. However, the kitchen is visibly very outdated with old cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring, requiring a substantial renovation to meet modern standards. No bathroom images were provided, suggesting they are likely in a similar condition. While some components are updated, the overall aesthetic and functionality of key areas are significantly aged, aligning with the 'Fair' category where the home is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

Income-Generating Asset: The property features two separate houses on one lot, with the rear house currently generating $1400 per month in rental income, offering immediate cash flow.
Expansion Potential: There is good size space between the front and rear houses, providing ideal opportunities for room expansion or further development of either or both units.
Prime Signal Hill Location: Located in a desirable Signal Hill neighborhood, offering quiet surroundings and convenient walking distance to elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as local amenities like restaurants and stores.
Recent Upgrades & Maintenance: The property has been well-maintained with a newer roof, upgraded flooring, walls, doors, and foundation, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Versatile Duplex Configuration: As a duplex, it offers flexibility for owner-occupancy with supplemental rental income or as a pure investment property, appealing to a broad range of buyers.
Cons
Limited Total Living Space: With a total of 1158 sqft for two separate houses, each unit is likely quite compact, which may not appeal to buyers seeking more spacious living accommodations.
Historic Property Age: Built in 1919, despite recent upgrades, the property's age could still present inherent challenges or require ongoing maintenance typical of older homes.
Recent Price Reductions: The listing has undergone significant price reductions from its original list price of $970,000 to $879,999, which may indicate market resistance or an initial overvaluation.
