Built in 1922, this property features highly outdated kitchens with old cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and basic older appliances. Bathrooms are also very basic and dated. While the property appears structurally sound and functional, it lacks modern amenities like central HVAC (window units are visible) and has not undergone significant renovations in many decades. It is maintained but requires substantial updates to kitchens, bathrooms, and potentially major systems to meet contemporary standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential: The property features two separate units (1 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath) on one lot, offering excellent potential for rental income or owner-occupancy with supplemental rental.
Desirable Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Montecito Heights/Rose Hills area, known for its appeal and proximity to other desirable neighborhoods like Alhambra and South Pasadena.
Excellent Accessibility: Conveniently located minutes from major institutions such as Cal State L.A. and USC Medical Center, as well as restaurants, shopping, schools, and freeways.
Well-Maintained Condition: Both units are described as being in good condition and well maintained, suggesting reduced immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Versatile Outdoor Space: The backyard includes a staircase leading to several areas suitable for gardening or creating private retreat spaces, adding value and utility.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1922, the property's age may imply older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant updates or maintenance in the future, despite being well-maintained.
Compact Living Spaces: With a total of 993 sqft for two units (1 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath), the individual living spaces are quite small, which might limit appeal to certain tenants or owner-occupants seeking more spacious accommodations.
Terraced Backyard: The description of a staircase leading to multiple backyard areas suggests a terraced or sloped lot, which may not be ideal for all buyers, particularly those desiring a flat, easily accessible yard.
