Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1924, the property is functional but dated. The bathroom features older tile work and fixtures likely exceeding 20 years in age, and the presence of window AC units suggests a lack of modern central HVAC. The exterior siding and plumbing show signs of wear consistent with a property that has not had a major renovation in 20-30 years.
Situated just blocks from USC and within the campus patrol zone, the property is positioned in a high-demand rental market with a consistent pool of student tenants.
The layout featuring a detached 3-bedroom main house plus two separate bungalows offers excellent flexibility for owner-users or investors seeking multi-tenant income.
With one bungalow currently vacant, a new owner can immediately capitalize on market-rate rents or occupy the unit without the constraints of existing lease terms.
Built in 1924, the property likely requires ongoing maintenance or significant capital improvements to modernize systems and structural elements common in century-old homes.
With only 2,094 total square feet distributed across three units, the individual living spaces, particularly the 1-bedroom bungalows, may be perceived as small by modern standards.
1497 W 27th St is a versatile three-unit income property offering strong potential for investors or owner-users. The property features a spacious detached single-family residence with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, plus two separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath bungalows. One of the 1-bedroom bungalows is currently available, creating an immediate opportunity for a buyer to set market rent or occupy the unit. Conveniently located just blocks from USC and within the USC patrol area, this property benefits from a highly desirable rental location near campus, transportation, dining, and neighborhood amenities. An excellent asset for expanding a real estate portfolio, with multiple detached units and potential rental income upside.
