This Value-Add Duplex in the heart of Silver Lake - Echo Park is listed at $790,000, positioned near its $734,528 Fair Market Value after a substantial price reduction from $1.2M.

Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1921, this property is over a century old and shows significant signs of aging infrastructure. The listing analysis explicitly notes that major systems—including plumbing, electrical, and roofing—likely require modernization to meet contemporary standards. The presence of window AC units indicates a lack of central HVAC, and the very compact square footage (approx. 578 sqft per unit) suggests an outdated layout. Given the need for substantial system replacements and rehabilitation, it falls into the poor category.
Situated in the highly desirable Silver Lake - Echo Park area, the property offers excellent proximity to trendy dining, nightlife, and the central amenities of Los Angeles.

With a price reduction from an initial $1.2M to $925,000, the property is now positioned at a much more competitive and attractive entry point for the neighborhood.
Being located on Glendale Boulevard, a major thoroughfare, the property is subject to significant street noise and high traffic volume, which may deter some residential tenants.
Built in 1921, the property likely requires modernization of major systems such as plumbing, electrical, and roofing to meet contemporary standards and reduce maintenance costs.
