Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1910, this property is over a century old and shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The exterior is weathered with an unkempt yard, and the interior images reveal dated tile flooring, worn walls, and basic, likely original, doors and fixtures. While no kitchen images are provided, the visible bathroom area appears very basic and outdated. The property analysis explicitly notes the 'Advanced Age' and the likelihood of 'requiring significant investment in updating major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general modernization.' This indicates substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed, aligning with a 'poor' condition score rather than a 'tear-down' as there's no explicit indication the structure is beyond repair.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Asset: As a duplex, the property offers immediate potential for rental income, making it attractive to investors or owner-occupants seeking to offset mortgage costs.
Prime Los Angeles Location: Located in Los Angeles, a major metropolitan area with high demand for housing and strong long-term appreciation potential, despite the specific neighborhood.
Motivated Seller: The description 'priced to sell' and 'seller will look at all offers' indicates a motivated seller, potentially allowing for a more favorable negotiation for buyers.
Generous Unit Configuration: The property features two units, one with a 2-bedroom and a den, and the other a 2-bedroom, offering flexible living arrangements and good rental appeal.
Substantial Lot Size: A 5400 sqft lot in Los Angeles provides ample outdoor space and potential for landscaping improvements or future development, subject to zoning.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3952, other record living area = 1006.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1910, the property is over a century old, likely requiring significant investment in updating major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general modernization to meet current standards.
Neighborhood Specifics (Watts): While in Los Angeles, the Watts area (MLS Area: WATT) may present challenges related to perceived safety, school districts, or amenities, potentially impacting rental rates and resale value compared to other LA submarkets.
Undisclosed Condition/Renovation Needs: The listing lacks specific details on recent upgrades or the current condition of the property, suggesting potential for significant deferred maintenance and unforeseen repair costs for a buyer.
