Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1922, this property is over 100 years old. The exterior shows signs of significant age and neglect, including patchy landscaping, visible utility wires, and a prominent blue tarp covering part of the entrance/window area, which is a major red flag suggesting underlying issues or ongoing, incomplete repairs. Crucially, there are no interior images provided in the listing. For a property of this age, the complete absence of interior photos strongly indicates that the kitchen, bathrooms, and other interior spaces are in very poor condition, likely requiring substantial repairs, rehabilitation, and extensive system replacements (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, flooring). This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria, indicating a need for significant investment to make the property safe and comfortable for living.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Los Angeles Location: Situated in the highly desirable Mid-Wilshire area (90004 zip code), offering excellent access to amenities, employment centers, and cultural attractions within a vibrant urban environment.
Income-Generating Duplex: Classified as 'Residential Income' and a 'Duplex,' providing a clear opportunity for rental income from two separate units or accommodating multi-generational living arrangements.
High Bedroom Count: With 5 bedrooms, the property offers substantial living space, appealing to larger families or investors looking to maximize rental yield per unit.
Historic Architecture Potential: Built in 1922, the property possesses inherent historic character that, with significant renovation and restoration, could be transformed into a unique and desirable classic Los Angeles home.
Recent Price Reduction: The list price has been reduced from $899,900 to $869,900, indicating a motivated seller and potentially a more attractive entry point for buyers seeking a value-add opportunity.
Cons
Extremely Poor Condition & Major Renovation Needed: Explicitly rated in 'Poor' condition, the property is over 100 years old with visible exterior neglect (e.g., tarp, utility wires) and no interior photos, strongly implying extensive structural, cosmetic, and system overhauls are required.
Lack of Interior Transparency: The complete absence of interior images is a significant deterrent, suggesting the interior is in very poor shape and making it challenging for potential buyers to gauge the full scope and cost of necessary renovations without an in-person inspection.
Low Bathroom-to-Bedroom Ratio: With only 2 bathrooms for 5 bedrooms, the property has a low ratio, which could be inconvenient for multiple occupants or tenants and likely necessitates additional bathroom installations during renovation.
