Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1945, this property has undergone extensive renovations, making it move-in ready. The interior features updated LVP flooring, fresh paint, and modern stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Bathrooms have been updated with contemporary vanities and tiled showers. While the kitchen cabinets are a more traditional wood style and some light fixtures are basic, and central AC is not apparent, the overall condition reflects a well-maintained home with significant updates within the last 5-15 years, aligning with a 'Good' rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Income-Generating Potential: The property features a unique configuration with a 3-bedroom, 1-bath front unit and a 2-bedroom, 2-bath back unit, plus a remodeled garage with a bathroom, offering excellent potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or owner-occupancy with supplementary income.
Expansive Lot & Ample Parking: Boasting a 'huge lot' and a 'very spacious driveway,' the property provides extensive outdoor space and ample parking for multiple vehicles, including RVs, a significant advantage in urban areas.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Its prime location offers convenient access to the freeway, Plaza Las Americas, parks, beaches, and schools, enhancing its appeal for families and commuters alike.
Single-Story Layout: As a single-story home, it offers broad appeal for buyers seeking accessibility, ease of maintenance, and a comfortable living arrangement without stairs.
Move-in Ready Condition: The property is described as 'ready to move in now,' suggesting it is in a habitable condition that allows for immediate occupancy without requiring significant upfront renovations.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1945, the property is an older home, which may imply potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and require ongoing maintenance or future capital expenditures compared to newer constructions.
Significant Price Appreciation Post-Recent Sale: The property sold for $725,000 in April 2024 and is now listed at $895,000, representing a substantial price increase in a short period. Buyers may require clear justification for this appreciation through significant, recent improvements not fully detailed.
Lack of Designated View: The property explicitly states 'view:None,' indicating an absence of scenic vistas, which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing views in a desirable California location.
