Condition Rating
Poor
This property is explicitly described as a 'renovation project' with units 'waiting for restoration,' indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. Built in 1922, it likely suffers from significant age-related challenges, outdated systems, and deferred maintenance. While the exterior shows signs of wear, the description suggests the structures are salvageable for restoration rather than demolition. Without interior photos, it's safe to assume the kitchen and bathrooms are in very poor, outdated condition, requiring complete renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Located in the trendy Echo Park area, minutes from Dodger Stadium, Elysian Park, The Music Center, Downtown Los Angeles, and Echo Park Lake, offering high desirability and convenience.
Income-Generating Potential: A multi-residential LAR3-zoned property featuring three units (a 2-bed/1-bath Craftsman and two 1-bed/1-bath units), providing significant rental income opportunities post-restoration.
Development & Lot Size: The LAR3 zoning on a large 7,482 sqft lot offers potential for future expansion, redevelopment, or maximizing density in a sought-after urban area.
Historic Charm: The front house is a 1922 Craftsman bungalow, offering a unique architectural style and the potential to restore its 'early 1920s charm' for a distinctive property.
Desirable Views: The property boasts city lights and hills views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and overall market value.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Explicitly described as a 'renovation project' with two units 'waiting for restoration,' indicating a need for significant capital investment and labor to bring the property to its full potential.
Age-Related Challenges: Built in 1922, the property likely has outdated systems, infrastructure, and potential deferred maintenance issues common with older homes, requiring comprehensive upgrades.
Uncertainty of Restoration Costs: The 'renovation project' nature implies that the exact scope and cost of restoring all three units to a habitable and income-generating standard are currently unknown and could be substantial.
