Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1917, this property is over 100 years old. The images reveal a dated exterior and an interior currently configured for commercial use, not residential. There are no photos of the kitchen or bathrooms, which strongly suggests they are either in very poor, outdated condition, or not set up for residential living. The property analysis explicitly states it 'likely requires substantial investment in renovations and system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern living standards.' This indicates a need for significant repairs and rehabilitation, aligning with a 'poor' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Mid-Wilshire Location: Situated in a highly desirable and central Los Angeles neighborhood, offering excellent access to amenities, cultural hubs (K-Town), and major thoroughfares.
Historic Architectural Appeal: Built in 1917, the property likely possesses classic architectural elements and character, appealing to buyers seeking period charm and a sense of history.
Generous Lot Size: The 6,757 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space, offering potential for landscaping, outdoor living areas, or future expansion/ADU development.
Strong School Proximity: Located near well-rated elementary schools like Charles H. Kim (6/10) and Van Ness Avenue (6/10), and highly-rated middle/high schools, making it attractive for families.
Significant Value-Add Potential: The property's age and general description suggest a 'blank canvas' opportunity for buyers to renovate, modernize, and potentially expand, increasing its long-term value.
Cons
Aggressive Pricing Strategy: The current list price of $1,500,000 is 15% above the estimated market value, potentially making it less competitive and prolonging its time on the market.
Undisclosed Condition/Required Updates: As an older home (1917) with a minimal description, it likely requires substantial investment in renovations and system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern living standards.
Limited Marketing Information: The brief description lacks specific details about features, recent upgrades, or unique selling points, which could hinder buyer interest and perception of value.
