The property consists of a well-maintained 1929 front house and a modern rear building with an effective build date of 2008 (18 years old). The rear units are described as turnkey with modern layouts, and the exterior shows good maintenance, fitting the 10-20 year functional age bracket for the majority of the living space.
This triplex configuration offers an ideal house-hacking opportunity, allowing an owner-occupant to offset mortgage costs significantly through the two additional rental units.
Boasting a rare 97/100 Walk Score, the property is perfectly positioned near artisan shops, parks, and major employment hubs like DTLA and USC Medical Center.
The rear building features a 2008 effective build date with independent utilities and turnkey finishes, reducing immediate maintenance concerns compared to older character homes.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 6, other record bedroom count = 5.
With only three bathrooms serving six total bedrooms across three units, the 3-bed/1-bath front residence may feel underserviced for larger families or high-end renters.
Several assigned elementary and middle schools in the immediate area carry lower ratings (2-4), which could impact long-term appeal for education-focused families.
