Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 2007, this property is functional and move-in ready, but the kitchen features dated wooden cabinets and standard appliances, and some bathrooms show older styles. The presence of portable AC units suggests a lack of central cooling, which is a significant drawback for a home of this size and age in Los Angeles. While the laminate flooring is in good condition, the overall aesthetic and key functional components like the kitchen and cooling system show signs of being outdated and would require minor updates to meet modern standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Income Potential: The property is explicitly marketed as an 'Incredible Income Opportunity' with 'reliable income streams already in place' from a separate studio and a 2-bed/1-bath unit, making it highly attractive for investors.
Flexible Multi-Unit Living: Designed for 'MULTI-UNIT-STYLE living,' this property is versatile, accommodating both investors seeking rental income and extended families needing separate living spaces.
Strategic Urban Location: Its location 'just minutes from Downtown LA' and convenience to 'major freeways, schools, public transportation and local amenities' offers excellent accessibility and urban convenience.
Ample & Secure Parking: The provision of '4 GATED PARKING SPACES' with a carport and additional driveway parking is a significant advantage in a dense urban area like Los Angeles.
Future Development Potential: The LAR2 zoning offers 'further potential for ADU or expansion,' providing a clear path for future value appreciation and increased income generation.
Cons
"As Is" Condition: The property is being sold in its 'Present "As Is" condition,' indicating that the seller will not make repairs, which may require the buyer to invest in immediate or future maintenance and upgrades.
Buyer Due Diligence Required: While ADU/expansion potential is a strength, the caveat 'buyer to verify with city' places the burden of due diligence on the buyer to confirm feasibility and costs.
Existing Tenant Management: With units 'currently tenant occupied,' a new owner will need to navigate existing lease agreements and tenant relations, which could present complexities for immediate occupancy or changes.
