Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property, built in 1922, is over 100 years old. The listing explicitly states it offers 'room to personalize' and is an 'excellent opportunity to update and customize,' strongly indicating that significant renovations are required. Without any interior images, especially of the kitchen and bathroom, and given the property's age, it's highly probable that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are outdated and require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort. The exterior images show an older, maintained but not updated structure, consistent with a property needing extensive modernization.
As a duplex, this property offers immediate potential for rental income, making it attractive to investors or owner-occupants seeking to offset mortgage costs.
Situated in the heart of Boyle Heights, the property boasts excellent proximity to DTLA, the Arts District, USC Medical Center, and major freeways (5, 10, 101), enhancing its desirability and accessibility.
Described as an 'excellent opportunity to update and customize' in a 'high-demand neighborhood,' it offers significant upside for value appreciation through renovation and personalization.
Built in 1922, the property likely requires substantial updates and renovations to meet modern standards and preferences, which could entail significant additional investment.
With a lot size of 3015 sqft, the property offers limited outdoor space, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking larger yards or expansion potential.
The listing explicitly states 'no warranties or guarantees' and advises buyers to 'independently verify all information,' strongly suggesting an 'as-is' sale with potential for undisclosed issues or repair needs.
