Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1922, this property is over 100 years old. The exterior shows significant age and wear, and the presence of multiple window-mounted AC units indicates a lack of modern central cooling, suggesting outdated major systems. While no interior photos are provided, especially for the kitchen and bathrooms, it is highly probable that these areas are original or were last renovated 30-50+ years ago, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet contemporary standards. The property analysis also highlights the need for 'considerable investment in renovations, updates, or maintenance'.

Commuter Accessibility: Provides quick and convenient commutes to major employment and entertainment hubs including Downtown LA, Pasadena, and Highland Park.
