Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1948, appears move-in ready with recent cosmetic updates including new paint and new tile flooring throughout the visible living areas. Recessed lighting is a modern update. While the listing claims 'excellent condition,' the absence of images for the kitchen and bathrooms prevents a full assessment of their condition, style, and features. However, the visible updates suggest the property is well-maintained and functional, aligning with the 'Good' category's criteria of being move-in ready with some updated components, even if it hasn't undergone a full, high-end recent renovation of all major systems and areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Configuration & Income Potential: The property features two separate dwellings (a 7-bed/2-bath front house and a 2-bed/1-bath ADU in the back), offering significant rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Recent Cosmetic Upgrades: The property boasts recent cosmetic updates including new paint, new flooring, and recessed lighting, contributing to a move-in ready condition and reducing immediate renovation costs for a buyer.
Versatile Investment Opportunity: Marketed as both a 'Great business opportunity' and 'perfect for first time buyer,' this property appeals to a broad range of buyers, from investors seeking rental income to owner-occupants looking for house-hacking or extended family living.
Desirable Panoramic Views: The listing explicitly states 'City Lights, Hills, Panoramic' views, which are highly sought after in Los Angeles and significantly enhance the property's appeal and potential value.
Prime Location: Located in the historical Los Angeles Filipino Town, the property benefits from a culturally rich and potentially vibrant neighborhood, adding to its unique market appeal.
Cons
Age of Core Systems: Built in 1948, while cosmetically updated, the property's major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or dated, potentially requiring significant future capital expenditure.
Unverified Interior Condition (Kitchen/Baths): The provided information notes an absence of images for the kitchen and bathrooms, preventing a full assessment of their condition, style, and potential need for updates, which could be a hidden cost for buyers.
Potential Square Footage Discrepancy: The listed 1675 sqft for a property with a total of 9 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across two units seems unusually low, potentially indicating compact living spaces or an incomplete representation of the total habitable area.
