Condition Rating
Poor
This property, built in 1948 and on the market for the first time in over 50 years, is explicitly described as a 'fixer' requiring a 'full renovation and transformation.' While it's noted to have 'great bones,' the images confirm significant deferred maintenance. The interior shows peeling paint, worn-out carpeting, and a very basic, outdated light fixture. The kitchen, while having some newer elements like white shaker-style cabinets, granite-look countertops, and a stainless steel range, also features an older white refrigerator, a mismatched upper cabinet, and a single bare bulb light fixture, indicating a piecemeal update rather than a comprehensive renovation. No modern bathroom images are provided, but given the overall condition and age, it's highly likely to be severely outdated. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be safe, comfortable, and meet current living standards, aligning with a 'Poor' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Delevan Drive Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Eagle Rock neighborhood, known for its vibrant community, eclectic shops, dining, and convenient access to major Los Angeles areas.
Renovation Potential: Marketed as a 'fixer' with 'great bones,' offering significant upside potential for investors or buyers looking to customize and add substantial value through renovation.
Excellent School Proximity: Located within walking distance (0.12 miles) of the highly-rated Eagle Rock High School (rating 7) and close to other well-regarded elementary schools.
Long-Term Ownership Opportunity: Being on the market for the first time in over 50 years presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to acquire a property with a stable history in a sought-after area.
Indoor Laundry: The inclusion of indoor laundry is a practical and desirable feature, adding convenience for daily living.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is explicitly a 'fixer' needing a 'full renovation and transformation,' indicating a substantial financial and time commitment for updates.
Limited Living Space & Bathrooms: With only 765 sqft and a single bathroom for three bedrooms, the property offers constrained living space and limited convenience for modern household needs.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $879,000 is considerably higher than the estimated value ($610,642) and a recent pending offer for the same property ($749,999), suggesting it may be overpriced given its condition.
