Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1910 historic triplex is in fair condition, showing a mix of recent cosmetic updates and aging infrastructure. While the interior features newer laminate flooring and fresh paint, the bathrooms are dated with basic vanities and older fixtures. The exterior siding and electrical meters show visible wear and age, and the property lacks a comprehensive modern renovation of major systems, fitting the criteria for a well-maintained but outdated aged property.
With a total of 12 bedrooms across a triplex configuration, this property offers exceptional density and rental yield potential in a high-demand Los Angeles submarket.
Ideally situated minutes from Downtown LA, Koreatown, and USC, the property benefits from proximity to major employment centers, transit, and a robust tenant pool.
The 4,258-square-foot historic structure features classic period details and a flexible unit mix, providing a versatile canvas for investors to renovate and maximize market-rate returns.
Built in 1910, the property likely requires substantial capital investment for modernizing systems and addressing deferred maintenance typical of century-old buildings.
The configuration of only 5 bathrooms for 12 bedrooms is disproportionate, which may limit the appeal to certain tenant profiles or necessitate costly interior reconfigurations.
