Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1965, making it 59 years old. The exterior images reveal significant wear and tear, particularly the extensively cracked concrete driveway, suggesting deferred maintenance. While no interior images are provided to assess the kitchen and bathrooms directly, the property's age and the MLS listing's own 'Age-Related Renovation Potential' weakness strongly indicate that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and interior finishes require substantial updates or replacements to meet contemporary standards. This aligns with the 'Poor' criteria, which describes properties built over 30 years ago that require substantial repairs and rehabilitation, with major components likely needing repair or replacement.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is explicitly listed as a 'Residential Income' type and a 'Duplex,' offering immediate potential for rental income from two separate units, appealing to investors or owner-occupants seeking supplementary income.
Generous Lot Size: With a lot size of 6820 sqft, the property offers ample outdoor space, potential for landscaping, expansion, or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), subject to local zoning regulations.
High Bedroom Count: Featuring 5 bedrooms, the property provides significant flexibility for accommodating larger families or maximizing rental income across its two units, enhancing its market appeal.
Established East Los Angeles Location: Situated in East Los Angeles, the property benefits from a vibrant community, cultural richness, and convenient access to downtown Los Angeles, major freeways, and local amenities.
Solid Construction Era: Built in 1965, the property dates from a period often associated with robust construction and durable materials, providing a solid foundation for any future renovations or improvements.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6820, other record lot size in square feet = 6750. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Future Listing Date Anomaly: The 'on_market_date' (2025-11-30) and 'modified_timestamp' (2025-12-03) are in the future, which is a critical data inconsistency for an 'Active' listing and requires immediate verification.
Absence of Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may detract from its desirability compared to properties offering scenic outlooks, potentially impacting its market value and appeal.
Age-Related Renovation Potential: Constructed in 1965, the property is over five decades old, suggesting that major systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing) and interior finishes may require significant updates or renovations to meet contemporary standards and buyer preferences.
