Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1947 with no evidence of major renovations in the last 50 years, this property shows significant deferred maintenance. Exterior images reveal weathered surfaces, peeling paint, and unmaintained grounds. Sold 'as-is' via probate auction with no inspection contingencies, the home likely requires substantial rehabilitation of the kitchen, bathroom, and major systems to meet modern safety and comfort standards.
Listed at $365,000, this property represents a rare and highly accessible price point for a detached single-family home in the Los Angeles County market.
The nearly 6,000 square foot lot offers significant outdoor space and provides ample room for potential expansions or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
With 1,156 square feet of living space, the home offers a larger footprint than many typical two-bedroom starter homes, providing a functional layout for small families or renters.
The property is occupied by a non-paying family member and will be delivered occupied at the close of escrow, necessitating a potentially costly and lengthy eviction process for the buyer.
The sale is 'as-is' with no financing, appraisal, or inspection contingencies, requiring a cash-heavy buyer prepared for court confirmation delays and unknown property conditions.
