Built in 1926 (100 years old).
Condition: The property, comprising units built in 1926 and 1983, is aged but appears maintained. While functional, the kitchens feature dated tile countertops and older appliances, and the bathrooms generally show outdated fixtures and tile work. Some flooring appears updated to laminate or tile, but the overall aesthetic across all units is consistently dated, indicating a need for minor updates to meet current standards rather than extensive recent renovations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income & Low Operating Costs: Currently generates $7,800/month in rental income with tenants responsible for electric, gas, trash, and gardener expenses, ensuring strong net operating income for the owner.
Significant ADU Conversion Potential: The property includes three 2-car garages, offering a clear opportunity to convert two into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), potentially expanding to a 4-unit property and increasing rental income to $10,000/month.
Versatile Unit Mix & Ample Parking: Comprises a freestanding 3BD/2BA single-family home with a private yard and a duplex with two additional units, all benefiting from extensive parking including multiple 2-car garages and a long driveway.
Desirable Hawthorne Location: Situated in a 'desirable location' within Hawthorne, enhancing its appeal to renters and supporting consistent occupancy rates.
Modern Unit Features (Duplex): The rear duplex, built in 1983, offers desirable amenities such as townhouse-style living, large primary bedrooms, inside laundry, and updated flooring (tile & hardwood).

Cons

Restricted Property Access: The listing explicitly states 'do not walk the property and do not disturb the tenants,' which significantly limits buyer access for thorough inspections and viewings, potentially complicating due diligence.
Age Discrepancy & Potential Maintenance: The front single-family home was built in 1926, making it considerably older than the 1983 duplex, which may lead to varying maintenance needs and potential for older systems in the front unit.
ADU Conversion Verification Required: While promising, the ADU conversion potential is subject to buyer verification with the city, introducing an element of uncertainty and requiring additional legwork for the new owner.
