Despite being built in 1924, the property has undergone a complete and extensive renovation, as stated in the description ('Completely Remodeled,' 'New electrical wiring, new plumbing, drywall, windows, all work done with permits'). The images confirm this, showcasing brand new, modern kitchens with grey shaker cabinets and white countertops, and contemporary bathrooms with stylish vanities, new tiling, and modern fixtures. New wood-laminate flooring, recessed lighting, and modern ceiling fans are present throughout. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a completely remodeled duplex featuring two distinct units (3 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath), offering immediate rental income potential for investors or owner-occupants.
Extensive Permitted Remodel: Significant recent renovations including new electrical wiring, plumbing, drywall, and windows, all completed with permits, minimize immediate maintenance and upgrade costs for a new owner.
Ample Parking Solutions: A two-car detached garage and a long driveway provide substantial off-street parking, a highly desirable feature in Los Angeles, and the detached garage offers potential for future ADU conversion.
Strong Market Location: Situated in Los Angeles, CA (90044), a high-demand real estate market, ensuring a robust tenant pool and potential for long-term property value appreciation.
Versatile Investment Opportunity: As a duplex, the property appeals to a wide range of buyers, including traditional investors, multi-generational families, or those seeking a 'house-hacking' strategy to offset living costs.
Cons
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive remodeling, the property was originally built in 1924, which may still imply potential for underlying issues related to the original foundation or other structural components not addressed in the recent updates.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price ($899,900 to $859,900) could suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially indicating a longer sales cycle or a need for further price adjustments.
Mixed School Ratings: While several schools are nearby, some have lower ratings (2-3 out of 10), which could be a drawback for families prioritizing access to top-tier public education.
