Listing
$1,000,000
Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1923, this duplex is explicitly described as requiring 'significant renovation or demolition' due to its 'Advanced Age.' The listing emphasizes its 'redevelopment potential' and 'value-add renovation' rather than its current livability. The exterior image shows a dilapidated facade, worn steps, and general neglect, strongly suggesting the property is in need of substantial repairs and rehabilitation. Without interior photos, it's highly probable that the kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated and in poor condition, requiring complete replacement. While demolition is an option, the mention of 'repositioning the existing duplex' suggests it's not entirely beyond repair, but would require a massive investment to bring it to modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Redevelopment Potential: The R4(CW)-75/3-0 zoning with a 75' height limit and 3.0 FAR offers broad flexibility for ground-up multifamily construction, making it highly attractive for investors.
Strategic Urban Infill Location: Situated in an emerging pocket just west of Downtown Los Angeles, this property is in a high-demand, rapidly improving submarket with excellent access to amenities and transit.
Significant Assemblage Opportunity: Adjacent parcels (1272 & 1274 W Court St) are available, allowing for the creation of a larger 0.48-acre development site, greatly enhancing its potential for larger projects.
Generous Lot Size: The approximately 7,000 SF lot provides ample space for substantial redevelopment or expansion in a dense urban environment.
Existing Income-Generating Duplex: The current duplex offers immediate rental income potential, providing cash flow during planning phases or as a value-add renovation project.
Cons
Advanced Age of Existing Structure: Built in 1923, the existing duplex is likely to require significant renovation or demolition, adding substantial costs to any redevelopment or repositioning strategy.
No Significant Views: The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which can be a disadvantage in the Los Angeles market where views often contribute significantly to property value.
Investor-Specific Appeal: The property's primary value proposition is its redevelopment potential, which may narrow the buyer pool to experienced investors rather than typical residential homeowners seeking a move-in ready property.
