Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1908, this property is over 100 years old and is primarily marketed as a redevelopment opportunity. While it features a new roof (2025), the lack of interior photos and the agent's emphasis on 'cosmetic updates' and 'redevelopment' suggests the kitchen, baths, and systems are significantly dated. The exterior shows weathered stucco and cracked concrete, indicating a need for a full rehab to meet modern standards.
Ideally situated near USC, University Village, and the E Line transit, this property sits in one of Los Angeles’ premier rental markets for student housing.
The oversized 6,501 sqft lot with LAR2 zoning and 65 feet of frontage provides a significant opportunity for redevelopment, expansion, or adding ADUs.
The property features a brand-new roof (2025) and can be delivered vacant, allowing new owners to immediately implement market-rate rents or begin renovations.
