More Insights
Built in 1919 (107 years old).
Condition: Built in 1919, this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards. The listing explicitly calls for 'cosmetic updates' and 'TLC,' and the absence of interior photos, particularly for the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests these areas are significantly outdated. While described as having 'solid bones,' major systems are likely original or very old, necessitating extensive upgrades beyond minor updates.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Value-Add Potential: The property is explicitly marketed as an ideal opportunity for investors or owner-occupants seeking to renovate, customize, and build equity, highlighting its 'excellent upside'.
ADU & Expansion Opportunities: A generous lot with a spacious backyard and a flexible stone-tiled garden room offers excellent potential for creative improvements, expansion, or adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Desirable Lot with Ample Parking: Features a desirable lot size (6038 sqft), two single garages, and a long driveway, providing valuable off-street parking for multiple vehicles in a dense urban area.
Solid Foundation & Original Character: Described as having 'solid bones' and 'original hardwood floors,' indicating a well-built structure with classic charm ready for restoration and preservation.
Prime East Hollywood Location: Situated on a quiet residential street in the desirable East Hollywood area, offering good neighborhood appeal and potential for appreciation within a sought-after Los Angeles market.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Requires Immediate Renovation/TLC: The listing clearly states the property needs 'cosmetic updates' or 'light renovation' and for buyers to 'apply some TLC,' implying additional investment post-purchase to unlock its full potential.
Older Home with Potential System Updates: Built in 1919, while having 'solid bones,' the age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or outdated and could require significant upgrades to meet modern standards.
Lack of Professional Marketing Photos: The current listing notes 'Professional photos coming soon,' which is a temporary but significant drawback, as high-quality visuals are crucial for initial buyer interest and online engagement.
