Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1913, this property is explicitly stated to need 'TLC, upgrades, and Termite' treatment, indicating substantial repairs are required. The kitchen features extremely outdated cabinets, tile countertops, and old appliances, demanding a full renovation. The bathroom's access through a bedroom is a significant functional flaw. Overall, the property shows extensive wear and tear, neglected maintenance, and outdated fixtures throughout, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria of requiring substantial rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Strategically located near vibrant Koreatown, Mid-Wilshire, and Pico Union, offering excellent access to amenities, cultural attractions, and employment centers in Los Angeles.
Architectural Charm: The Craftsman style house provides desirable character and historical aesthetic, appealing to buyers seeking unique architectural features.
First-Time Buyer/Investment Opportunity: Presents an accessible entry point into the Los Angeles real estate market, offering a potential alternative to renting and a foundation for future equity growth.
Potential for Duplex Conversion: Historically registered as a duplex, this property offers a significant value-add opportunity for rental income or multi-family living, pending buyer confirmation with city planning.
Raised Foundation: Built on a raised foundation, which typically provides better ventilation, easier access for maintenance, and protection from ground moisture compared to slab foundations.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is explicitly stated to need significant work, TLC, upgrades, and termite treatment, indicating a substantial upfront investment and renovation effort for the buyer.
Suboptimal Layout: Bathroom access is exclusively through a bedroom, which is an undesirable layout for privacy and general functionality, especially for guests or multiple occupants.
Limited Living Space: With only 720 sqft, a small kitchen, and a compact 2400 sqft lot, the property offers restricted interior and exterior living space.
