Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is in move-in ready condition with significant modern updates. The kitchen features updated cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while the bathrooms have been modernized with contemporary tiling and fixtures. The addition of a fully permitted ADU and a newer resort-style pool and spa adds substantial value. Although the main structure was built in 1948, the extensive maintenance and aesthetic upgrades throughout the interior and exterior justify a 'good' rating.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Permitted ADU

    The property includes a fully permitted studio ADU, offering significant value for multi-generational living, a private home office, or potential rental income.

  • Resort-Style Backyard

    The outdoor space features a newer pool, jacuzzi, and expansive patio, creating a premium environment for year-round entertaining and relaxation.

  • Prime Whittier Location

    Situated north of Beverly Boulevard in a highly sought-after neighborhood, the home offers a perfect blend of quiet residential charm and easy access to Uptown Whittier and Downtown LA.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Vintage Infrastructure

    Built in 1948, the main residence may feature older plumbing or electrical systems that could require modernization compared to newer constructions.

  • Limited Traditional Yard

    With the pool, ADU, and large parking structure occupying much of the 6,645 sqft lot, there is minimal remaining green space for traditional lawn use or gardening.
