About this home
"Fixer Opportunity" The primary structure is 592 square feet with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, common areas and the framework of the previous kitchen. A second garage structure at the rear of the parcel offers a loft and workshop/storage area. Perhaps this could be an ADU conversion opportunity? An exterior courtyard marries the two structures on the .06 acre lot.

Condition Rating
Tear down
The property, built in 1940, is explicitly described as a 'Fixer Opportunity' and the images confirm an unlivable state. The kitchen is reduced to a 'framework,' meaning it's non-existent, and the bathroom is severely dilapidated, dirty, and unusable with outdated fixtures and peeling wallpaper. The entire interior shows extreme disrepair, exposed walls, debris, and boarded-up windows, indicating no major renovations in decades. The overall condition suggests the structure is beyond practical repair for habitation and its value is primarily in the land for redevelopment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Conversion Potential: The presence of a second garage structure with a loft and workshop/storage area offers a significant opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, adding substantial value and potential rental income.
Investment/Value-Add Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as a 'Fixer Opportunity' with a competitive list price, this property is ideal for investors or owner-occupants looking to build equity through renovation and customization.
Dedicated Workshop/Storage Space: The secondary structure includes a valuable workshop and storage area, providing practical utility for hobbies, projects, or additional household storage.
Charming Exterior Courtyard: An exterior courtyard thoughtfully connects the primary residence and the secondary structure, creating a private and inviting outdoor living space.
Affordable Entry Point: With a list price of $210,000, this property represents a relatively accessible entry point into the Riverside real estate market, appealing to a broad range of buyers including first-time homeowners or those seeking a project.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is a 'Fixer Opportunity' with the 'framework of the previous kitchen' indicating significant and immediate capital investment will be needed for rehabilitation and modernization.
Small Primary Living Space: The primary structure is only 592 square feet with 1 bedroom, which is very compact and may limit its appeal to buyers requiring more living space or additional bedrooms.
Age and Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1940, the property is likely to have original or outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require costly upgrades to meet current standards and efficiency expectations.
