Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1948, making it over 70 years old. The exterior images show a dated appearance with older windows and neglected landscaping. Crucially, there are no interior images provided, making it impossible to assess the condition of the kitchen and bathrooms directly. However, given the age of the home and the lack of any mentioned recent renovations, it is highly probable that the interior, including major systems, kitchen, and bathrooms, would require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current safety, functional, and aesthetic standards, despite being described as 'well-kept'. This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Configuration & Income Potential: The property features a 3-bedroom main house, an attached 1-bedroom unit, and a studio, all explicitly permitted, offering significant rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Desirable Bellflower Location: Situated in a 'desirable area of Bellflower' (RH - Bellflower N of Alondra, E of Bellflower), suggesting a good community with potential for appreciation and access to local amenities.
Permitted Additional Units: The explicit mention of 'all attached and permitted' units is a major advantage, ensuring legality and avoiding common issues associated with unpermitted additions, adding significant value and peace of mind.
Well-Maintained Property: Described as a 'well-kept home,' indicating that the current owners have likely maintained the property, potentially reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a new buyer.
Generous Lot Size: A 5702 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or potential future expansion, which is a valuable asset in urban/suburban areas.
Cons
Significant Overpricing: The listing price of $1,200,000 is substantially higher than the estimated property value of $780,899, indicating a potential overvaluation of approximately 34%, which could deter buyers and prolong market time.
Older Construction & Potential System Updates: Built in 1948, the home is over 75 years old. While well-kept, major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or require significant updates to meet modern standards and efficiency, incurring future costs.
Limited Bathroom Count for Multiple Units: With a 3-bedroom main house, a 1-bedroom unit, and a studio, a total of only 2 bathrooms (1 for the main house, 1 for the attached units) may be insufficient for multiple occupants or tenants, potentially impacting convenience and appeal.
