Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1923, this property is over 100 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained for its age, and the kitchen has been recently and tastefully renovated with modern cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and updated lighting, there are no images or details provided for the bathrooms or other critical interior spaces. The property's age suggests a high likelihood of outdated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, as indicated in the property analysis. Therefore, the property is considered aged but maintained with occasional updates, and other major components likely show signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates or repairs beyond the kitchen.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Potential: As a duplex, the property offers two separate living spaces, making it an ideal investment for rental income or a flexible option for multi-generational living.
Desirable Architectural Style: The front house features a 'Craftsman Style,' which is often sought after for its classic aesthetic, character, and enduring appeal.
Generous Lot Size: With a 5170 sqft lot, the property offers ample outdoor space, providing potential for landscaping, recreation, or future expansion (subject to zoning).
Curb Appeal & Family-Friendly Feature: The presence of a 'quaint play area adorned with brick wrought-iron fence' enhances the property's curb appeal and adds a valuable amenity for families.
Location in High-Demand Market: Situated in Los Angeles, a highly sought-after and appreciating real estate market, providing inherent value and potential for long-term appreciation.
Cons
Significant Age of Property: Built in 1923, the property is over 100 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), deferred maintenance, and higher renovation costs to meet modern standards.
Missing/Erroneous Square Footage Data: The listed square footage of '2 sqft' is clearly incorrect and a critical missing piece of information, making it impossible to accurately assess the property's size or value per square foot.
Unusual On-Market Date: The 'on_market_date' of '2025-01-03' is in the future, which is highly unusual for an 'Active' listing and indicates a potential data error or pre-listing status that requires clarification.
