Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1950, making it 74 years old. Without any interior images, especially of the kitchen and bathroom, and given the age, it's highly probable that these areas, along with major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), are significantly outdated and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The exterior appears maintained but dated, and the description 'full of potential' often implies a need for significant updates rather than a move-in ready condition. This aligns with the 'Poor' criteria where major components require repair and the property needs substantial rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU & Expansion Potential: Sitting on an R2 lot with a large backyard, this property offers significant potential for future growth, including the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or expanding the existing structure, which can substantially increase its value.
Prime Location Convenience: The property boasts a highly convenient location, being just minutes from major freeways, diverse dining options, and schools, enhancing its appeal for commuters and families alike.
Investment Opportunity: Explicitly highlighted as an investment opportunity, its R2 zoning, expansion potential, and desirable location make it attractive for both first-time homebuyers looking to build equity and investors seeking rental income or future development.
Quiet Residential Setting: Nestled on a quiet street, the home offers a peaceful and desirable living environment, providing a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Generous Lot Size: With a 5,215 sqft lot, there is ample outdoor space, which is a significant asset for urban properties and directly supports the property's expansion and ADU potential.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At only 700 sqft, the interior living space is quite small, which may be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more room or for growing families.
Older Construction: Built in 1950, the property is over 70 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems, infrastructure, or the need for significant renovations to meet modern standards and preferences.
Limited Bedrooms & Bathrooms: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property offers minimal accommodation, potentially restricting its appeal to a broader range of buyers, especially those with families.
