* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is 104 years old (built 1920) and the listing lacks any mention of recent renovations to kitchens, bathrooms, or major systems like HVAC and electrical. While currently functional and tenant-occupied, the extreme age and lack of documented updates suggest a dated interior that requires modernization and minor repairs to meet current market standards.
As a duplex with one vacant unit and one occupied unit, it offers immediate rental income while providing the flexibility for an owner-user to move in or a landlord to lease at current market rates.
The property features an extended driveway for generous off-street parking and a large rear yard, a highly desirable asset in Los Angeles for storage or outdoor living.
With a 2-bedroom plus bonus room front unit and a 3-bedroom rear unit, the layout accommodates larger families or home-office needs better than standard duplexes.
Built in 1920, the property may require significant capital expenditures for modernizing electrical, plumbing, or structural systems to meet current standards.
The front unit is sold with an existing tenant, which may limit the buyer's ability to renovate immediately or adjust rents to market value due to local rent control regulations.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! DUPLEX FOR SALE!!!. The front residence features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, plus a bonus room that can be used for a home office. This unit will be sold with the existing tenant in place, offering the benefit of an established occupant and rental income from the front unit. The rear residence features 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and will be delivered vacant at the close of escrow. This creates an exciting opportunity for the new owner to move in and make the space their own, lease it to a new tenant, or utilize it for extended family—while maintaining the income-producing front unit. Outside, the property continues to impress with a front yard, an extended driveway offering generous off-street parking, and a spacious rear yard with ample room for storage and outdoor enjoyment. Opportunities like this are increasingly sought after by both owner-users and investors. Buyer to independently verify all property information, including square footage, room dimensions, permits, zoning, rental information, parking, and any potential development or additional-use opportunities with the appropriate city and governmental agencies.
