Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1922, this property is explicitly described as a 'diamond in the rough' requiring 'Extensive Renovation/Redevelopment Needed.' The images reveal an outdated interior with a visible wall-mounted gas heater, indicating a lack of modern central HVAC. While one bathroom shows a modest update to the vanity, the overall style is dated, and the second bathroom appears very basic and old. The absence of kitchen images strongly suggests it is in very poor or original condition, necessitating a complete overhaul. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet contemporary living standards, aligning with a 'poor' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High-Value LAR3 Zoning: The property boasts LAR3 zoning, indicating significant potential for multi-family development, supported by neighboring apartment and quadruplex structures.
Prime North Hollywood Location: Situated in a 'fabulous' North Hollywood neighborhood, offering excellent proximity to the Arts District, diverse restaurants, and shopping.
Development-Friendly Lot: Features a 'deep lot' which, combined with the LAR3 zoning, provides ample space and flexibility for substantial expansion or redevelopment projects.
Strong Investment Potential: Described as a 'diamond in the rough,' this property presents a compelling opportunity for investors or developers seeking significant upside through renovation or ground-up construction.
Established Urban Environment: Located in North Hollywood, benefiting from a well-established urban setting with existing infrastructure and community amenities.
Cons
Extensive Renovation/Redevelopment Needed: As a 'diamond in the rough' built in 1922, the property will require substantial investment for modernization, repairs, or complete redevelopment.
Small Existing Dwelling: The current structure is a modest 2 beds, 1 bath, 840 sqft, which is undersized for the list price and likely not the primary value proposition.
High List Price for Current Condition: The $1.5M list price for a property described as a 'diamond in the rough' suggests a premium for land and zoning, potentially limiting buyers not focused on development.
