Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1969, this property has undergone significant updates as described, including a 'newer roof, newer awning, newer kitchen with granite counter top, upgraded bathroom and laminated flooring in the front unit.' The images confirm the upgraded bathroom with a modern double vanity and tile flooring, and clean laminate flooring throughout other areas. While the property's age is over 50 years, these extensive renovations bring its condition up to a 'good' standard, making it move-in ready with functional and updated major components. It doesn't quite reach 'excellent' as it's not a full, recent, high-end renovation, and some fixtures (like the light in image 5) are not cutting-edge.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Property Potential: As a duplex, this property offers significant income-generating potential, appealing to investors or owner-occupiers seeking rental revenue.
Prime Walteria Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Walteria neighborhood of South Torrance, known for its community and desirability.
Top-Rated School Access: Located within the attendance boundaries for highly-rated Walteria Elementary (walking distance), Richardson Intermediate, and South High School, a major draw for families.
Recent Key Upgrades: The front unit benefits from numerous recent upgrades including a newer roof, awning, kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded bathroom, and laminated flooring, reducing immediate capital expenditures for a buyer.
Versatile Unit Layouts: Features a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath townhouse-style front unit and a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath back unit, offering flexibility for diverse tenant needs or owner-occupancy.
Cons
Compact Lot Size: The property sits on a relatively small 2,489 sqft lot, which may limit outdoor living space or future expansion possibilities.
Shared Garage Facility: The single 2-car garage is shared between both units, which could lead to potential parking conflicts or inconvenience for tenants.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1969, the property's underlying infrastructure, despite recent cosmetic upgrades, may still reflect its age in areas not explicitly mentioned as renovated, potentially requiring future maintenance.
