More Insights

Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property is aged but appears to be maintained. The kitchen features some newer stainless steel appliances (range, dishwasher) and recessed lighting, but the wood cabinets and laminate countertops are dated. The bathroom has a basic updated vanity but older tile work in the tub/shower. Hardwood floors throughout the living areas and bedrooms show wear consistent with their age. The property is functional and livable, but its overall style, fixtures, and systems (e.g., wall heater, no central AC visible) are outdated and would require significant cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition.

About this home

Excellent investment or value-add opportunity situated on an HUGE lot exceeding 10,000 sq ft. The property consists of a front single-family residence featuring 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus a detached rear unit with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a small kitchen, offering flexibility for extended family living or rental income. The expansive rear yard provides potential for an ADU, with additional room to expand the existing rear unit or explore the possibility of an additional ADU (buyer to verify all zoning, permits, and development options with the City of Carson). A double-car garage adds further upside and may present conversion or redevelopment potential. Conveniently located near Cal State Dominguez Hills, shopping, dining, and major freeways, this property offers a rare combination of lot size, unit mix, and future development potential in a desirable Carson neighborhood.
