Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1941, this property is aged but appears to have been maintained with some occasional updates. The kitchen features basic white cabinets and a modern faucet, but the granite countertops are dated, and essential appliances (stove/oven, refrigerator) are missing, indicating an incomplete or very basic setup. While the flooring is a mix of dated ceramic tile and newer laminate, and some lighting is recessed, other fixtures like the kitchen chandelier are very old. The bathrooms are not clearly visible but are likely similarly dated. The property requires substantial cosmetic updates throughout, and the 'non-permitted addition' presents a significant legal and potential renovation challenge. It is functional but far from modern and needs considerable investment to bring it up to contemporary standards, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category, leaning towards needing more than just 'minor' updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated on a desirable corner lot directly across from South Gate Park, offering excellent recreational access and neighborhood appeal, plus proximity to schools, shopping, and freeways.
Value-Add Opportunity: Features a non-permitted addition and a detached garage, providing significant potential for conversion into a legal ADU or second unit to boost property value and rental income.
Investment Potential: The listing price is notably below the estimated market value, indicating a strong opportunity for immediate equity gain for the buyer.
Private Outdoor Living: Includes a private courtyard with a pool, offering a desirable space for relaxation and entertainment.
Spacious Living & Parking: A generous 1,768 sq ft home with 4 large bedrooms, an open floor plan, and ample parking, accommodating diverse family needs.
Cons
Non-Permitted Structures: The existing addition is non-permitted, requiring the buyer to verify legality and potentially invest in costly permitting and construction to bring it to code.
Age-Related Updates: Built in 1941, the property may necessitate significant investment in updating older systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and general modernization.
Buyer Due Diligence Burden: The responsibility for verifying the legality and feasibility of converting non-permitted structures into an ADU falls entirely on the buyer, introducing potential risks and unforeseen expenses.
