Montebello, California 90640
This Value-Add Vintage Asset is listed at $658,000, positioned at a premium relative to its $620,519 Fair Market Value. Holding a Condition Rating of 5, the property requires a comprehensive modernization of its 1940s systems and interior finishes. However, the home’s unique Art Deco architectural character and 4,938 square foot lot provide a significant foundation for forced appreciation through renovation. Located within the Montebello Unified district, the expansive backyard offers a blank slate for expansion or ADU development. This acquisition is a strategic project for Fix-and-Flip Investors or Contractors seeking a historic restoration project.

Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property is 84 years old with a kitchen and interior finishes that appear to be original or over 50 years old. While the 'vintage charm' is well-maintained, the age of the kitchen, lack of modern systems updates, and the need for a full rehab to meet current standards place it in the poor category based on the 30-50 year renovation criteria.
The home features unique 1940s Art Deco details, including arched doorways and original built-ins, offering a distinct charm that stands out in the market.
With a nearly 5,000 square foot backyard described as a blank slate, there is significant opportunity for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or potential expansion.
Elegant touches like tray ceilings and picture-frame wainscoting provide a sophisticated aesthetic that enhances the home's historic appeal.
At only 881 square feet with a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout, the interior space may be restrictive for growing families or those requiring more functional area.
Given the 1940 construction and emphasis on original features, the property may require significant investment to modernize utility systems and energy efficiency.
