More Insights
Built in 1905 (120 years old).
Condition: Built in 1905, this property is over a century old. The images reveal extremely outdated kitchens and bathrooms with old cabinets, basic laminate countertops, ancient fixtures, and worn flooring (linoleum/vinyl). Appliances appear very old, likely original or from a renovation many decades ago. While the listing states 'well maintained,' this likely refers to basic structural upkeep rather than modernizing systems or aesthetics. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including full replacement of kitchens, bathrooms, and likely major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to meet contemporary living standards. The overall condition suggests significant investment is needed beyond minor updates.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Development Potential: The LAR3 zoning offers significant potential for multi-family development or conversion, aligning with the property's 'excellent investment opportunity' and 'huge potential growth' claims in a developing area.
Strategic Location: Located 'Across from Loyola High school' in the 'Mid City area of LA,' which is noted for its growth and development, enhancing its appeal for appreciation and rental demand.
Investment Opportunity: Explicitly described as an 'Excellent investment opportunity with huge potential growth,' making it attractive to investors looking for long-term value.
Well-Maintained Condition: The property has been 'well maintained,' suggesting a solid foundation and potentially fewer immediate repair needs for a new owner.
Generous Property Size: With 5294 sqft of living space and a 6796 sqft lot, the property offers substantial room for various uses, expansion, or redevelopment under its favorable zoning.
Cons
Historic Age: Built in 1905, the property is over a century old, likely requiring extensive modernization and upgrades to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet contemporary standards and preferences.
Absence of Views: The property explicitly states 'view:None,' which can be a drawback in a competitive Los Angeles market where desirable views often command a premium.
Potential for Significant Renovation Costs: Despite being 'well maintained,' a property of this age and with its development potential (LAR3 zoning) often implies a need for substantial capital investment for renovation or redevelopment to fully capitalize on its inherent value.
