Property is extensive renovation needed.
Originally built in 1885, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'value-add' investment opportunity for flippers and developers. While it features recent cosmetic improvements such as fresh interior paint, new bedroom flooring, and a new water heater, the extreme age of the structure and the agent's suggestion to 'reimagine the space entirely' indicate that the core systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) and the single bathroom likely require a full rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
Situated in the rapidly evolving Boyle Heights area, the property offers exceptional proximity to Downtown LA, USC Medical Center, and the Arts District, ensuring high demand from commuters and renters.
The generous 5,752 sqft lot provides ample space for expansion or the addition of an ADU, offering investors a rare opportunity to maximize density and appreciation in a high-growth corridor.
With new interior paint, updated bedroom flooring, and a new water heater, the property reduces immediate move-in costs and allows for a faster turnaround to the rental or resale market.
The property was recently sold within the past year on 2026-01-15. The sold price is $600,000.00.
Built in 1885, the property's extreme age likely necessitates significant inspections and potential upgrades to foundational, electrical, and plumbing systems that may exceed cosmetic budgets.
The 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration presents functional obsolescence for modern families, potentially limiting the property's rental yield and marketability compared to homes with a second bath.
