Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1924, making it nearly a century old. While the exterior appears well-maintained and the bathrooms show evidence of recent, stylish updates with modern tiling, fixtures, and finishes (e.g., subway tiles, mosaic floor, glass shower enclosure), the lack of information on the kitchen and other major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) for a property of this age suggests that significant components are likely outdated. The property analysis also notes 'Anticipated Renovation Costs.' Therefore, it likely requires further updates beyond the bathrooms to meet modern standards throughout, fitting the 'fair' category of requiring minor updates or repairs and having functional but outdated major components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex, the property offers significant potential for rental income from one or both units, or flexible multi-generational living arrangements, enhancing its investment appeal.
Prime Old Torrance Location: Situated in the desirable 'Old Torrance' area, the property benefits from an established community, historical charm, and convenient access to local amenities and services.
Excellent School Proximity: The property is within walking distance to highly-rated Torrance High School (8/10) and Torrance Elementary School (5/10), making it highly attractive to families.
Historic Character: Built in 1924, the property likely possesses unique architectural details and a sense of history, appealing to buyers seeking homes with distinct character and charm.
Generous Lot Size: With a lot size of 5102 sqft, the property offers ample outdoor space, which is a valuable asset for a duplex in an urban environment.
Cons
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1924, the property is nearly a century old, which suggests a higher likelihood of outdated systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and potential for significant deferred maintenance.
High Upfront Investment: The list price of $1,249,000 represents a substantial financial commitment, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers and requiring a significant down payment.
Anticipated Renovation Costs: Given its age and without specific mention of recent major renovations, buyers should anticipate budgeting for considerable expenses to modernize, update, and maintain the property's infrastructure and aesthetics.
