Built in 1905, this property is marketed as an investment opportunity requiring significant modernization and restoration. The description highlights original features and a need for creativity, implying that the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems (HVAC/Electric) are likely outdated and exceed the 30-50 year threshold for a full rehab.
The LARD2 zoning and capacity for up to 2,500 additional square feet in ADUs offer significant value-add opportunities for investors or those seeking a multi-generational compound.
Situated in a rapidly transforming pocket of Northeast LA, the property boasts excellent walkability to the Figueroa corridor's shops and cafes, plus easy access to the Gold Line and DTLA.
This 1905 Craftsman retains sought-after original details like hardwood floors and built-in shelving, providing a charming canvas for a high-end restoration.

The 3,431 sq. ft. lot is relatively small, meaning that maximizing the ADU potential will significantly limit remaining outdoor yard space.
