Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1945 and reportedly unrenovated for nearly 60 years, the property is in original, dilapidated condition.

Interior finishes including green shag carpeting, popcorn ceilings, and peeling paint indicate a need for a total gut rehabilitation. The listing's heavy emphasis on the 'large lot' and 'investor' opportunity further confirms the structure requires significant rehab to meet modern safety and functional standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8736, living area = 1017.
The expansive 8,736 sqft lot paired with R-M zoning offers a rare opportunity for ADU/JADU construction or additional residential units, ideal for investors or multi-generational living.
Centrally located near the Metro A Line and the 91, 105, and 710 freeways, providing excellent connectivity to Downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, and the South Bay.
Built in 1945 and marketed toward 'handy' owners, the home likely requires significant cosmetic and structural updates to meet modern living standards.
