Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, this 76-year-old duplex appears well-maintained but significantly dated. Interior images show older vinyl tile flooring and the presence of window AC units indicates a lack of modern central HVAC. While functional and move-in ready, the property likely requires updates to kitchens, baths, and systems which appear to be over 20 years old.
Situated directly across from East Los Angeles College, this property offers high rental demand and excellent visibility for potential student or faculty tenants.
The large pad adjacent to the garage and rear alley access provide a significant opportunity for ADU expansion or a garage conversion to maximize density and cash flow.
As a duplex featuring two 2-bedroom units, the property provides immediate rental income and flexibility for owner-occupiers looking to offset their mortgage.
Built in 1948, the structure may require significant capital expenditures for modernizing systems or addressing deferred maintenance typical of older vintage buildings.
The reliance on street parking permits and alley-access only for the garage may be a drawback for tenants with multiple vehicles or those seeking traditional driveway access.
