Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property is a 1902 structure in a state of severe disrepair, appearing gutted and currently functioning as an active construction site. The main building lacks functional kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, or any modern internal systems, and the images show significant structural exposure and potential safety hazards. While there is ongoing construction for a rear ADU and pending plans for a tri-plex conversion, the current state of the primary residence requires total rehabilitation and substantial repair to be habitable.
This property is a prime value-add opportunity with pending tri-plex plans for the front building and a nearly completed ADU duplex, allowing for a high-density, multi-unit income stream.
Situated on the corner of Bonnie Brae St and 12th Pl in Pico Union, the property offers superior visibility, easier access for multiple tenants, and enhanced natural light for future units.
The under-construction rear duplex features desirable 2BR and 3BR layouts and includes rare 'inside parking,' a premium feature that will command higher rents in this high-density Los Angeles neighborhood.
The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-04-18. The sold price is $535,000.00.
With the ADU completion not expected until July 2026 and tri-plex plans still pending city approval, investors must account for significant carrying costs and potential regulatory delays.
Given the original structure was built in 1902, the property likely requires extensive and costly seismic retrofitting and system upgrades to meet modern building codes during the conversion process.
