Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1930 and marketed as a 'fixer opportunity,' the property shows severe neglect. Images reveal significant ceiling damage/holes, a dilapidated kitchen with missing cabinetry, and outdated utility systems. It requires a comprehensive gut renovation to address safety and structural concerns.
Marketed as a prime fixer opportunity with a generous lot size, this property offers significant equity-building potential and the possibility for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) to maximize rental income.
The property boasts excellent accessibility to the 91, 110, and 405 freeways, placing it within a short drive of major employment hubs, Los Angeles, and the coastal amenities of Manhattan and Redondo Beach.
With a solid 3-bedroom layout and 'good bones,' the home provides a versatile floor plan that serves as a strong starting point for a modern interior reconfiguration.
As a designated fixer-upper, the property requires a substantial capital injection to address deferred maintenance and modernize the living space to meet current market standards.
Built in 1930, the home likely requires significant system upgrades (electrical/plumbing) and features only one bathroom, which is often insufficient for modern 3-bedroom family requirements.

Perfect for investors, flippers, or owner-users seeking to build equity, this is a rare chance to bring your creativity and unlock the full value of the property.
