Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1920, making it over 100 years old. While the listing mentions significant updates such as a new roof, gutters, water heaters, copper plumbing, and fresh paint 'years ago,' and Unit 1's kitchen and bathroom were 'remodeled,' the visual evidence suggests these updates are not recent or extensive enough to elevate the property beyond a 'fair' condition. The kitchen in Image 3, despite having granite countertops and 'refreshed' cabinets, appears dated in style with older-style wood cabinets and a basic tile backsplash. The appliances are functional but not modern or high-end. No clear images of the bathrooms are provided. The laminate flooring is a practical update but not a premium finish. The overall impression from the images is that the units are functional and maintained, but show their age and the updates are more cosmetic or essential maintenance rather than a full modern renovation. This aligns with the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Triplex: The property is a triplex, offering a strong investment opportunity with multiple rental units for consistent cash flow in a desirable urban market.
Strategic Urban Location: Its prime Westlake location provides excellent proximity to Downtown Los Angeles, major attractions, shopping centers, and the 110 freeway, enhancing tenant appeal and property value.
Recent Major Capital Upgrades: Significant improvements such as a new roof, gutters, water heaters, and copper plumbing were added years ago, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Ample Off-Street Parking: The provision of a six-car parking area is a highly valuable and rare amenity in a dense urban environment like Los Angeles, appealing to tenants and increasing desirability.
Partially Updated Interiors: Unit 1 features a remodeled bathroom with a walk-in shower and a kitchen with granite countertops and new cabinets, along with laminated flooring in Units 1 and 3, offering modern appeal in key areas.

Cons

Advanced Age & Condition of Units: Built in 1920, the property is over a century old. While some upgrades exist, the description of units as being in 'normal condition' suggests potential for deferred maintenance or further renovation needs beyond Unit 1 to maximize rental income.
History of Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from $950,000 to $850,000 indicate potential market resistance or initial overpricing, which could affect perceived value and future appreciation.
HPOZ Zoning Restrictions: Being located within an HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlay Zone) may impose restrictions on exterior renovations and modifications, potentially increasing costs and limiting design flexibility for future improvements.
