The property, built in 1923, has undergone some remodels, particularly in the back unit bathrooms which feature modern tiling and antique clawfoot tubs. The front house boasts well-maintained original oak floors and a charming fireplace. However, the kitchen in the front unit appears dated with older white appliances, granite-look countertops, and an older-style wall-mounted faucet, not aligning with 'modern amenities' as described. The overall age of the property (101 years) and the explicit weakness noted in the analysis regarding 'older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation)' suggest that while maintained, major components show signs of being outdated and may require future attention. It's move-in ready but requires minor updates to bring key areas like the front kitchen up to contemporary standards.
Pros & Cons

Prime Location & Beach Proximity: Situated in the highly sought-after Hermosa Beach Sand Section, just a short distance from the beach, offering easy access to Downtown Hermosa, local shops, restaurants, and recreational areas.
Strong Income-Generating Potential: A triplex property with three separate units (2-bed/1-bath, 1-bed/1-bath, 2-bed/2-bath), providing significant rental income opportunities or the flexibility to live in one unit and rent out the others.
Redevelopment Opportunity: Located on a 4,238 sq ft R3 lot, presenting potential for future redevelopment into modern townhomes, maximizing the property's value in a desirable area.
Historic Charm with Modern Updates: The front 1920s main house has been beautifully preserved and fully remodeled, blending historic character with modern amenities, including original oak floors, a charming fireplace, and built-in cabinetry.
Desirable Outdoor Spaces & Valley Views: The back units feature private outdoor spaces such as a large private deck and fenced patio with views of the Hermosa Valley, enhancing tenant appeal and living experience.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1923, despite remodels, the age of the property may lead to higher maintenance costs or unforeseen issues with older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) across all units.
Lack of Dedicated Parking: The description does not mention dedicated parking for three units, which can be a significant challenge and inconvenience in a dense beach community like Hermosa Beach.
Absence of Ocean Views: Despite its proximity to the beach and location in the 'Sand Section,' the property explicitly states 'None' for views and does not offer ocean views, which could limit its premium appeal compared to other properties in the area.
