This additional development offers a significant opportunity to increase both living space and rental income.

Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1921, this property is over a century old. While the interiors appear clean and well-maintained with hardwood flooring, the kitchens are notably dated with white appliances, white tile countertops, and older cabinet styles, suggesting renovations likely occurred 20-30 years ago. Light fixtures are also generally outdated. No clear images of bathrooms were provided, but it's reasonable to assume they are similarly aged. The property is functional and livable but requires significant updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated and requiring minor updates or repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15293, living area = 1568.
Significant Income & Investment Potential: The property currently generates $6,000/month in rental income, with one unit delivered vacant, offering immediate rental income or owner-occupancy flexibility.
Approved Development Opportunity (ADUs): RTI approved permits for two substantial detached ADUs (each 2 beds, 2.5 baths, 1,037 sq ft) provide a clear path to significantly increase living space and future rental income.
Expansive & Versatile Lot: A generous total lot size of 15,293 sq ft, including an adjacent lot, offers rare space for expansion, privacy, or a large garden retreat in a dense urban area.
Desirable Location & Scenic Views: Situated in the serene hills of Mt. Washington, a sought-after Northeast LA neighborhood, boasting beautiful hillside, city lights, and canyon views.
Flexible Property Configuration: The property can function as a duplex, be converted into a larger single-family home (4-bed, 2-bath), or be expanded with the approved ADUs, catering to diverse owner needs.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =15293, other record lot size in square feet = 8813. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1568, other record living area = 1232. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1921, the property is over a century old, likely requiring significant investment for system upgrades, modernization, and general maintenance.
Substantial Capital Investment Required for Development: While ADU permits are approved, the construction of two large ADUs will necessitate a considerable financial outlay and project management from the new owner.
Limited Current Living Space per Unit: The existing 1,568 sq ft is split between two 2-bedroom units, resulting in relatively small individual living spaces (approx. 784 sq ft per unit), which may feel constrained for some occupants.
