Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1953, the property has been well-maintained and features significant upgrades to the electrical panel, insulation, kitchens, and bathrooms. The interior shows functional, move-in ready finishes including updated flooring and cabinetry, placing it in the 5-15 year renovation category.
The duplex configuration with separate utility meters for electric, gas, and water provides an ideal setup for rental income, house hacking, or multigenerational living.
Key infrastructure and aesthetic improvements to the kitchens, bathrooms, insulation, and electrical panels offer immediate value and reduced near-term maintenance costs.
The oversized three-car garage presents a prime opportunity for conversion into a third living unit, potentially maximizing the property's cash flow and overall valuation.
The property lacks any significant views, which may limit its premium appeal compared to other residential income properties in elevated Whittier neighborhoods.
Despite recent interior upgrades, the 1953 build date suggests that other original structural components may eventually require attention as the property ages.
