Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1941, this property is over 80 years old with no indication of significant recent renovations. The exterior images reveal a severely cracked and deteriorated driveway, an older fence, and a generally dated appearance, suggesting deferred maintenance. The listing explicitly mentions an 'unpermitted garage conversion' and 'pending items with the City of South Gate,' which are major red flags indicating potential code violations, safety concerns, and substantial costs for legalization or remediation. The absence of interior photos for the kitchen and bathrooms, combined with the property's age and exterior condition, strongly suggests these areas are original or very outdated and will require extensive repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and ensure habitability.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Potential: The property sits on a spacious 7,315 sqft lot, offering an excellent opportunity to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which can significantly increase property value and provide rental income.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located just minutes from the South Gate Golf Course, local parks, shopping centers, schools, and offers easy access to the 710 Freeway, enhancing daily convenience.
Spacious Lot Size: The generous 7,315 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space for potential expansion, landscaping, or recreational use, a valuable asset in urban areas.
Attractive Price Point & Value: Currently listed below its estimated market value of $616,635.96 at $585,000, and having recently undergone a price reduction, it presents a compelling investment opportunity.
Starter Home Opportunity: Marketed as a 'perfect starter home with incredible potential,' it offers an accessible entry point into homeownership for first-time buyers willing to invest in improvements.
Cons
Unpermitted Garage Conversion: The garage conversion is unpermitted, which poses legal risks, potential fines, and may require costly remediation or legalization to comply with city regulations.
Pending City Items: There are 'pending items with the City of South Gate,' indicating unresolved compliance issues or violations that could lead to additional expenses and delays for the buyer.
Age and Condition: Built in 1941, the property is over 80 years old, suggesting it may require significant updates to systems, infrastructure, and aesthetics, beyond the unpermitted work, to meet modern standards.
