Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1903, this property is a significant 'fixer opportunity' as described in the listing. The images reveal extensive deferred maintenance and severe disrepair throughout. The kitchen is extremely outdated, lacking proper cabinetry and featuring an unsanitary carpeted floor. The single bathroom is also severely outdated with old fixtures and visible signs of neglect. There is significant wall damage and exposed wiring, indicating potential safety and structural concerns. The exterior shows widespread peeling paint and general dilapidation. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, making it likely unsafe and uncomfortable to live in its current state, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment & Value Opportunity: Positioned as a probate sale with a recently lowered appraisal price, offering significant value and potential for investors or first-time homebuyers willing to undertake renovations.
Prime Los Angeles Location: Highly convenient location with excellent access to Downtown LA and major freeways (10 and 110), enhancing commute times and access to city amenities.
Generous Lot Size with ADU Potential: Features a substantial 7,080 sq. ft. lot, providing ample space for outdoor living, entertainment, and the potential to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) given the RD2-1 zoning.
Spacious Interior Layout: With 4 bedrooms and 1932 sq. ft., the property offers a sizable footprint suitable for a large family, providing ample living space.
Significant Price Reduction: The list price has been substantially reduced from the original, indicating a motivated seller and increased value proposition for potential buyers.
Cons
Inadequate Bathroom Count: The property features only one bathroom for four bedrooms, which is a significant functional deficiency and will likely necessitate a costly bathroom addition or reconfiguration.
Extensive Renovation Required: Built in 1903 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer opportunity,' the home will require substantial investment in repairs, modernization, and upgrades to meet contemporary living standards.
Probate Sale Complexities: While presented as simplified, probate sales can inherently involve longer closing periods, court confirmation processes, and specific legal requirements that may deter some buyers seeking a quick transaction.
