Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this duplex shows inconsistent maintenance across the two units. One kitchen has been partially updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances (Good), while the second kitchen is significantly dated with 1970s-era wall ovens and worn cabinetry (Poor). The presence of a modern exterior HVAC condenser is a positive, but the overall property remains dated with original hardwood floors and older windows, requiring minor repairs and modernization.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Dual-Unit Versatility
This duplex configuration features two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom residences, providing an excellent opportunity for 'house hacking,' multi-generational living, or a high-yield investment in a high-demand rental market.
- Rare Private Amenities
Each unit is uniquely equipped with its own private garage, dedicated laundry hookups, and individual yard space, features that are highly sought after and significantly increase the property's competitive edge for tenants.
- Prime Hillcrest Location
Situated in the desirable Hillcrest/Mission Hills area with access to top-rated schools like Florence Elementary, the property offers a central, walkable location that ensures long-term desirability and value retention.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2021, other record lot size in square feet = 4198.
- Constrained Lot Size
The total lot size of 2,021 square feet is quite small for two detached residences, which limits the actual footprint of the 'private yards' and leaves no room for future expansion or additional parking.
- Market Stagnation
With 48 days on the market and a recent $100,000 price reduction, the property has faced initial resistance, suggesting that the 1940s condition or current pricing may still be out of alignment with buyer expectations.
