Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1911, this property is over 110 years old. The listing explicitly notes its 'Historic Property Condition' and states it 'likely requires substantial investment for modernization, system upgrades, and ongoing maintenance,' indicating significant deferred maintenance. The exterior image shows considerable age and wear, with worn paint and older windows. Without any interior images or mention of recent renovations, it's highly probable that the kitchens, bathrooms, and major systems are severely outdated and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be functional and comfortable by modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Potential: As a triplex, the property offers significant income-generating opportunities, ideal for investors or owner-occupants seeking rental revenue.
Prime Echo Park Location: Situated adjacent to Elysian Park and within walking distance to local coffee shops, eateries, and Echo Park Lake, offering a highly desirable lifestyle.
Substantial Price Adjustment: The current list price of $689,000 represents a significant reduction from its initial $1,000,000, potentially offering strong value for buyers.
Owner-User Opportunity: Explicitly marketed for an owner-user, allowing a buyer to live in one unit while generating income from the others.
Secluded Urban Setting: Located on a quiet street, providing a peaceful residential environment while maintaining close proximity to urban amenities.
Cons
Historic Property Condition: Built in 1911, the property likely requires substantial investment for modernization, system upgrades, and ongoing maintenance to meet contemporary standards.
Limited Lot Size: The small 2,263 sqft lot offers minimal outdoor space, which may be a drawback for tenants or an owner-user seeking yard or recreational areas.
Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Without explicit mention of recent renovations, buyers should anticipate potential costs associated with updating an older multi-unit property.
