Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1928, this property is significantly aged. The kitchens feature very old, painted cabinets and dated countertops, lacking modern appliances. Bathrooms are highly outdated with 70s/80s-era blue and white tile, old fixtures, and a mix-matched vanity. While some areas have newer laminate flooring, other parts retain very dated checkered tile. The presence of window AC units indicates a lack of central cooling. Overall, the property shows extensive wear and tear, deferred maintenance on the exterior (peeling paint, rough alley), and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including major system updates, to meet current living standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Palos Verdes Peninsula High School (10/10).
Income-Generating Duplex: The property consists of two independent 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, providing excellent potential for rental income or a live-in owner with supplementary revenue.
Prime Coastal Location: Situated minutes away from the beach, offering a highly desirable lifestyle and strong potential for property value appreciation in a sought-after coastal area.
Convenient Local Amenities: The location boasts close proximity to shopping centers, parks, and various entertainment options, enhancing daily convenience and quality of life.
Ample Off-Street Parking: Features spacious parking in the back for up to three cars, a significant advantage in urban environments where parking can be scarce.
Enhanced Privacy: The absence of right-side neighbors provides increased privacy and potentially more natural light or outdoor space.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1928, the property may necessitate substantial updates, ongoing maintenance, or replacement of older systems, which could incur additional costs.
Lack of Scenic Views: Despite its proximity to the beach, the property explicitly states 'None' for views, which might be a drawback for buyers seeking ocean or city vistas.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price adjustments from the original listing price suggest potential market resistance or an initial overvaluation, which could influence buyer perception.
