Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1908, making it over 100 years old. While the listing mentions 'freshly painted' and 'upgraded windows,' these are minor updates. The description explicitly states 'PROPERTY CAN USE A LITTLE TLC,' indicating that it requires more than just cosmetic fixes. Without interior images or specific renovation dates for the kitchen and bathrooms, it's highly probable these areas, along with other major systems, are outdated and would require significant updates to meet modern standards, though they are likely functional. The exterior appears maintained but clearly shows its age, fitting the 'aged but maintained' criteria for a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Potential: The property features two detached units (a duplex), offering significant potential for rental income or an owner-occupant to offset mortgage costs.
Recent Exterior Upgrades: The front house has been freshly painted and windows upgraded, enhancing curb appeal and reducing immediate exterior maintenance for a new owner.
Prime Urban Location: Its proximity to public transportation and Downtown Los Angeles provides excellent accessibility for commuters and convenient access to city amenities.
Detached Units: Having two detached units on the lot offers greater privacy for tenants compared to attached units, potentially increasing desirability and rental value.
Garage Parking: The inclusion of a garage attached to the rear unit is a valuable amenity in an urban environment like Los Angeles, providing secure parking or storage.
Cons
Significant Renovation Needed: The listing explicitly states 'PROPERTY CAN USE A LITTLE TLC,' indicating that substantial renovation and repair costs may be required beyond cosmetic updates.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1908, the property is over a century old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, foundation) that could necessitate costly upgrades.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: Many of the public schools in the immediate vicinity have lower ratings (2-3), which could be a drawback for families prioritizing highly-rated educational institutions.
