Condition Rating
Fair
This property consists of two distinct units with vastly different build years. The rear unit, built in 2012, appears to be in good condition based on its age and exterior, suggesting functional systems and minimal wear. However, the front unit, built in 1921, shows significant age and wear on its exterior. Without interior photos, especially for the 1921 unit's kitchen and bathrooms, it's highly probable that these areas are original or very dated, requiring substantial updates to meet current standards. The overall 'Fair' score reflects this mixed condition, where the newer unit elevates the property from 'Poor,' but the very old and likely un-renovated (or minimally renovated) front unit prevents it from achieving a 'Good' rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Generating Potential: The property features two separate houses (duplex), offering an excellent opportunity to live in one unit and rent out the other, or to generate income from both, appealing to investors and owner-occupants alike.
Newer Construction Unit: The rear house, built in 2012, provides a significant advantage with its modern construction, including 2 attached garages, likely requiring less immediate maintenance and offering contemporary living standards compared to older properties.
Strategic Los Angeles Location: Conveniently located with easy access to the Harbor and 105 Freeways, Downtown Los Angeles, schools, SoFi Stadium, the new Clippers Arena, and LAX, enhancing its appeal for commuters and those seeking proximity to major attractions and employment centers.
ADU Potential: The description explicitly mentions 'still room for ADU in the rear yard,' indicating a clear opportunity for future value addition, increased rental income, or expanded living space.
Privacy and Independence: Both units benefit from their own private backyards and separate entrances, providing enhanced privacy and a sense of individual home ownership for tenants or occupants.
Cons
Age of Front House: The front house was built in 1921, making it over 100 years old. This suggests potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical), lead paint, or significant deferred maintenance that could require substantial investment.
Disparity in Unit Quality: The significant age difference between the 1921 front house and the 2012 rear house implies a potential disparity in condition, finishes, and modern amenities, which might make one unit considerably more appealing or require more capital expenditure than the other.
Limited Information on Front Unit Condition: The property description heavily emphasizes the newer rear unit, providing minimal details about the current condition or any recent upgrades of the 1921 front house, which could raise concerns for potential buyers regarding its state and necessary improvements.
