Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1921, this property shows significant age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen features outdated white tile countertops, old white appliances, and dated linoleum flooring, indicating a renovation likely 30-50 years ago or older. Visible ceiling damage in one of the rooms suggests substantial repairs are needed. While the property is functional, its systems and aesthetics are severely outdated, requiring extensive rehabilitation to meet current living standards. The description's emphasis on 'development potential' further supports that the existing structure is not the primary value.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Development Opportunity: The property is highlighted as a 'Prime Development' site in Melrose Hill, offering potential for developing multiple units or up to nine townhomes, appealing strongly to investors and developers.
Vacant Possession: The property will be delivered vacant, eliminating the complexities and delays associated with tenant relocation for immediate development or owner-occupancy.
Strategic Location: Nestled in the historical Melrose Hill, it's identified as a 'hot spot for new construction' with proximity to Melrose Blvd and Paramount Studios, ensuring high demand and growth potential.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a well-maintained duplex, it offers flexibility for an end-user to live in one unit and rent out the other, providing immediate rental income potential.
Ample Parking: The property offers ample parking, a significant advantage in a dense urban area like Los Angeles, enhancing its appeal for both residents and potential tenants.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1921, the property's age suggests potential for outdated infrastructure, systems, and higher maintenance or renovation costs compared to newer constructions.
Incomplete Amenities (Back Unit): The back unit lacks laundry facilities, which is a notable inconvenience and could impact its rental desirability or tenant satisfaction.
Complex Development Verification: The listing explicitly states 'Buyer to verify' development options (units or nine townhomes), indicating that significant due diligence regarding zoning, permits, and feasibility is required, adding complexity and potential risk for buyers.
