Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1919, the property's description explicitly states it's an 'opportunity for an owner-user to design and implement their perfect eastside abode' and features 'original 1920s millwork.' This, coupled with the visible window AC unit in the exterior photos, strongly indicates that the interior, including the kitchen and bathroom, is largely original or very dated and requires substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards. While the exterior appears maintained, the interior condition points to a need for major updates to systems and finishes.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in Echo Park's desirable Angeleno Heights, offering excellent proximity to award-winning restaurants, Elysian Park trails, Echo Park Farmer's Market, Silverlake Flea, Sunset Blvd., Echo Park Lake, and Dodger Stadium.
Historic Charm & Architectural Details: The property boasts original 1920s millwork and oak hardwood floors, providing unique character and a sense of history.
Private Outdoor Spaces & Parking: Includes a private balcony, a dedicated garden, and one assigned parking space, which are valuable amenities in this urban setting.
City Views & Top Floor Privacy: Offers desirable city views and the added privacy and quietness of a top-floor unit, creating a 'treetop oasis'.
Recent Price Adjustment: The recent price reduction from $649,000 to $599,000 makes the property more competitive and potentially attractive to buyers seeking value.
Cons
Tenancy In Common (TIC) Structure: The property is a TIC, which can present challenges with financing (often requiring specialized lenders) and may deter buyers unfamiliar or uncomfortable with this ownership model compared to traditional condominiums.
Potential for Renovation/Updates: The description 'opportunity for an owner-user to design and implement their perfect eastside abode' suggests the property may require significant investment for modernization or personalization beyond cosmetic changes.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom unit, this could be a functional limitation for multiple occupants or guests, potentially impacting buyer appeal and resale value.
