Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1896, this Victorian duplex is in original or severely dated condition and requires substantial rehabilitation. Interior images reveal peeling paint, outdated kitchens with old cabinetry, and bathrooms that have not been modernized in decades. The property shows significant deferred maintenance and the listing explicitly describes it as a restoration opportunity requiring major capital expenditure to modernize systems and finishes.
Situated in one of Los Angeles' most sought-after neighborhoods, this property is steps from Echo Park Lake and tennis courts, offering exceptional lifestyle appeal and high tenant demand.
As a detached duplex featuring two 3-bedroom units, the property offers a rare opportunity for restoration and repositioning to capture premium market rents in a high-growth area.
Built in 1896, the front residence features classic period architectural details and a built-out attic, providing a unique charm that distinguishes it from modern developments.
The property offers street parking only, which is a notable drawback in a high-density neighborhood and may limit the pool of potential tenants or buyers.
Given its age and status as a restoration opportunity, the property likely requires significant capital expenditure to modernize systems and finishes to meet current standards.
