Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1939, this property is explicitly described as 'in need of repairs' and 'sold as-is no repairs or credits will be granted.' The images confirm this, showing very worn and stained carpets, outdated kitchen cabinets and appliances (despite 'some upgrades over the years'), and a severely rusted and antiquated electrical panel. The electrical system appears to be a significant safety concern requiring substantial rehabilitation. While the structure seems intact, the extensive deferred maintenance and critical system issues make it fall into the 'Poor' category, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be comfortable and safe.
Pros & Cons
Pros
R2 Zoning: Significant development potential due to R2 zoning, allowing for multi-unit expansion or ADU additions.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located minutes from major freeways (110, 105), Downtown LA, and SoFi Stadium, offering excellent connectivity.
ADU Potential: Presence of two detached one-car garages offers strong potential for conversion into Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), enhancing income or living space.
Desirable Original Features: Original hardwood floors beneath the carpet present an opportunity to restore classic charm and add value.
Established Neighborhood: Situated on a street with evident 'pride of ownership,' suggesting a stable and well-maintained community environment.
Cons
Extensive Repair Needs: The property is explicitly stated as 'in need of repairs' and sold 'as-is,' requiring significant immediate investment from the buyer.
Limited Bathroom Count: Only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home may be a functional limitation for modern living and family needs.
Age-Related Maintenance: Built in 1939, the property's age, combined with its current condition, suggests potential for outdated systems and ongoing maintenance challenges.
