Property is extensive renovation needed.
Originally built in 1893, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The interior features dated 1980s-style tile flooring and cabinetry, visible plaster/paint deterioration on bedroom walls, and relies on window AC units rather than modern HVAC. Furthermore, the presence of unpermitted attic and rear conversions suggests potential safety and code compliance issues, necessitating a comprehensive rehab.
The property sits on a generous 7,480-square-foot lot with LARD2 zoning, providing significant opportunities for ADU construction, multi-unit expansion, or further income-producing development.
With over 2,100 square feet of living space and a 5-bedroom layout, the home offers exceptional flexibility for multi-generational households or high-occupancy investment strategies.
Ideally situated near Downtown Los Angeles and USC, the property benefits from high demand due to its proximity to major employment hubs, educational institutions, and transit corridors.
The attic conversion and rear living area were completed without permits, which may present challenges for traditional financing and require the buyer to assume legal and safety risks.
Built in 1893, this century-old residence likely requires substantial modernization of its core systems and structural components to meet current building standards and efficiency.
