Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: Built in 1922, this property is in dire need of extensive renovation. The images clearly show very outdated kitchens with old cabinets, worn countertops, and basic, likely original, white appliances. Bathrooms feature old fixtures, worn tiles, and show significant signs of age. Flooring throughout is a mix of dated laminate and ceramic tile. The description itself highlights the need to 'restore this property to its original craftsman charm,' 'fix it up,' or 'rehab the property,' and the property analysis explicitly mentions 'Extensive Renovation Required,' 'Outdated Systems and Infrastructure,' and 'Lack of Modern Amenities.' While not a complete tear-down, it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be safe and comfortable for modern living.

About this home
Welcome to 2132 Branden st in Los Angeles. This zoned LAR3 property consists of 3 addresses all on one parcel. 2132 is the front house that is 2 bedrooms 1 bath. 2134 is a 1 bed 1 bath unit to the left in back. 2136 is another 1 bed 1 bath unit to the right in back. All units are vacant and have additional storage underneath. The old carriage house / garage has a small workshop in the back section. This is 'an investors dream' or perfect for the multigenerational family wanting to restore this property to its original craftsman charm. All units have separate gas and electric meters. The lot just to the south, which is a little smaller, has been developed and has several million-dollar plus condos. The possibilities are endless. Fix it up and have the whole family move in, restore it and live in the front and rent out both back units, rehab the property and have 3 rental units, do the 'leg work' for a complete flip and sell, or go the whole distance and develop this into a money-making machine. This area of Los Angeles is undergoing a 'revamp' as you can see from some of the photos. This is close to Dodger Stadium, Downtown LA, Echo Park, and not far at all from Glendale, the Zoo, & downtown Burbank. Come check out this opportunity before it is missed.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Development Potential: Zoned LAR3, the property is explicitly marketed as an 'investors dream' with potential for developing into a 'money-making machine,' supported by nearby successful condo developments.
Multi-Unit Income Property: Consisting of three separate units (2-bed/1-bath, 1-bed/1-bath, 1-bed/1-bath) with individual gas and electric meters, offering strong rental income potential.
Strategic Urban Location: Located in a 'revamping' area of Los Angeles, with excellent proximity to major attractions and employment centers including Dodger Stadium, Downtown LA, and Echo Park.
Vacant Units for Immediate Repositioning: All units are vacant, providing immediate flexibility for renovation, tenant placement, or owner-occupancy without the complexities of existing leases.
Versatile Investment/Living Options: Appeals to a broad range of buyers, including investors for rental income or development, multi-generational families, or owner-occupants seeking to live and rent.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Built in 1922, the property clearly needs significant restoration, rehabilitation, or a complete flip, indicating substantial upfront investment and potential for unforeseen costs.
Outdated Systems and Infrastructure: As an early 20th-century build, it's highly probable that plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are outdated, requiring costly upgrades to meet modern standards and tenant expectations.
Lack of Modern Amenities: The description's emphasis on 'craftsman charm' and 'restoration' suggests the units likely lack contemporary finishes, appliances, and conveniences that modern renters or buyers typically seek.
