Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1922, this property is explicitly stated to require 'Extensive Renovation' and has 'Dated Infrastructure & Systems.' While the front unit retains some Craftsman charm, the exterior images of the rear units show significant wear, peeling paint, and general neglect. Without interior photos, it's inferred that the kitchens and bathrooms are severely outdated and require complete overhaul, consistent with a property of this age and described condition. Substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed across all units.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Triplex: Features three vacant units, providing an immediate opportunity for an investor to renovate and set market-rate rents, maximizing cash flow.
Highly Desirable Echo Park Location: Situated in a vibrant and trendy neighborhood, offering excellent proximity to downtown Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium, Elysian Park, and cultural amenities.
Significant Lot & ADU Potential: A generous 7,482 sqft lot includes additional yard space, presenting strong potential for outdoor amenity development or the addition of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
Appealing City Views: The property boasts desirable city views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential for higher rental or resale value.
Classic Craftsman Architecture: The front house retains its 1922 Craftsman charm, offering a unique architectural style that can attract tenants or buyers seeking character.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: As a 1922-built property with vacant units, significant capital investment will likely be needed for comprehensive renovations and system upgrades to optimize rental income.
Limited On-Site Parking: The property offers only a single 1-car detached garage for three units, which is likely inadequate for tenant needs and could pose a significant challenge in a dense urban area.
Dated Infrastructure & Systems: Given its age, the property's plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are likely outdated, necessitating costly upgrades to ensure modern functionality and safety standards.
