Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1905, this property's exterior shows significant age and neglect, with faded paint, an old roof, and security bars. The absence of interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests these areas are in very outdated and poor condition, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The property likely needs extensive system replacements and major cosmetic overhauls to meet modern living standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: This property is explicitly marketed as an 'Excellent investment opportunity' and is a duplex, offering immediate income potential from two separate units.
Prime Los Angeles Location: Strategically located 'in the heart of Los Angeles,' near the 110 freeway, providing easy access to downtown LA, Exposition Park, and USC.
Detached Units for Privacy: Both units are fully detached, a significant advantage for a duplex, offering enhanced privacy and flexibility for occupants compared to attached units.
Versatile Living/Rental Options: The configuration of a 2-bedroom and a 1-bedroom unit provides versatility for owner-occupancy with rental income, multi-generational living, or full rental investment.
Convenient Off-Street Parking: The availability of convenient car parking at the rear, accessible via an alley entrance, is a valuable asset in a dense urban area like Los Angeles.
Cons
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1905, the property is over a century old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) and significant deferred maintenance.
Potential for High Renovation Costs: Given its age and framing as an 'investment opportunity,' the property likely requires substantial capital expenditure for necessary upgrades and renovations to maximize its value and appeal.
Modest Unit Sizes: With a total of 1641 sqft split between a 2-bedroom and a 1-bedroom unit, the individual unit sizes may be considered modest, potentially limiting appeal to tenants seeking larger living spaces.
