Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1948, this duplex has undergone significant and relatively recent renovations, particularly in the key areas of kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchens feature modern white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and tile backsplashes, appearing clean and functional. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and tiling. The property benefits from central air and heat, and a recent sewer line upgrade, indicating well-maintained major systems. While not a brand-new build or a full renovation within the last 5 years, the extensive updates make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Valley View Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Rosemont Middle School (9/10). High School: Crescenta Valley High School (9/10).
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex featuring two units (2 bed/1 bath and 1 bed/1 bath), offering excellent flexibility for owner-occupants to live in one unit and rent the other, or for investors to generate dual rental income.
Prime Location & Amenities: Situated in a highly desirable area close to Montrose Village, with convenient access to shopping, dining, transportation, parks, top-rated schools, and easy freeway access.
Significant Property Upgrades: Both units feature central air and heat, updated kitchens with granite countertops, and a recent sewer line upgrade, indicating good maintenance and reduced immediate capital expenditures.
ADU Conversion Potential: The detached two-car garage presents a strong opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which could significantly enhance future property value and rental income.
Large Lot & Private Outdoor Space: The property sits on a generous 7,182 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor space, and each unit benefits from its own private patio, enhancing tenant appeal and quality of life.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1948, the property is over 75 years old. While updated, older construction may still present unforeseen maintenance challenges or require more frequent upkeep of original systems not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
ADU Conversion Uncertainty: The possibility of garage conversion to an ADU requires buyers to 'Check with City to confirm,' indicating that the conversion is not guaranteed and will involve additional due diligence, time, and potential costs for permits and construction.
Compact Unit Sizes: With a total of 1404 sqft for two units (a 2-bedroom and a 1-bedroom), the individual unit sizes may be relatively compact, which could limit appeal for tenants seeking more spacious living arrangements.
