Condition Rating
Tear down
Built in 1950, this property is being sold 'As-Is,' indicating significant deferred maintenance. The only interior image provided (a bathroom) shows bare, unpainted walls above the tiling, old fixtures, and general disrepair, suggesting the structure is not habitable without extensive renovation. The property description heavily emphasizes the land's development potential (ADU conversion, lot split, larger SFR), implying the existing 500 sqft structure is not the primary value and is likely beyond practical repair for modern living standards, aligning with a tear-down scenario where value is in the land.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 30102, living area = 500.
Significant Development Potential: The property offers extensive possibilities for future development, including potential ADU conversion of the bonus room, conversion into a larger SFR, or a lot split via SB9 to develop an additional SFR with an ADU.
Expansive Lot Size: With a substantial lot size of 30,102 sqft, the property provides ample space for expansion, landscaping, and supports the highlighted development opportunities.
Strategic Location: Its location offers convenient access to major urban centers, being close to downtown Los Angeles, Alhambra, Highland Park, and Pasadena, enhancing its appeal for commuters and those seeking city amenities.
Scenic Views: The property boasts desirable hillside, mountain, and trees/woods views, contributing to a pleasant living environment and potentially increasing property value.
Versatile Additional Structures: Includes an attached 300 SF bonus room with a half bath and a separate bonus building with storage and another half bath, offering flexible space for various uses or further development.
Cons
Limited Main Living Space: The primary residence is a very compact 500 sqft 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, which may be too small for many prospective buyers seeking a traditional single-family residence.
As-Is Sale Condition: The property is being sold 'As-Is,' indicating that the seller will not undertake repairs, which could lead to significant unexpected costs for the buyer for necessary renovations or deferred maintenance.
Uncertainty of Development Potential: While offering potential, the description repeatedly states 'buyer to verify' for all proposed changes (ADU, lot split), implying that the realization of these opportunities requires substantial due diligence, time, and investment from the buyer.
