More Insights
Built in 1921 (105 years old).
Condition: Built in 1921, the property has received recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and new carpet in some areas, making it move-in ready. However, both kitchens feature dated tile countertops and older white appliances (with one newer stainless steel fridge), indicating they would require substantial updates to meet modern standards. Bathrooms have updated vanities but classic, potentially older, tile work. The overall age of the property suggests major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely functional but outdated, aligning with the 'fair' category which describes an aged but maintained home requiring minor updates or repairs, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

About this home
Fabulous duplex in prime South Redondo, west of PCH. The detached rear house offers exceptional features, including a massive basement, an attached three-car garage, and a spacious upstairs loft—perfect for guests or extended family. Both homes have freshly painted interiors, and new carpet has been installed in portions of the basement. The front house is a charming two-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence, while the rear house includes one bedroom, one bath, plus the loft and large basement. The property sits on a street-to-alley lot with garage doors on both sides, allowing convenient access from either direction. A private backyard between the two structures provides a great space for outdoor dining and BBQs.
