Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1924 and sold in 'As-Is' condition, this property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization. The listing explicitly mentions significant deferred maintenance and a cramped 656 sqft footprint for a three-bedroom layout, which likely indicates unpermitted additions given the public record shows only one bedroom. The property is positioned as an investment opportunity requiring a 'vision,' suggesting that major systems, the kitchen, and the bathroom are outdated or in disrepair.
Situated just minutes from Downtown Los Angeles and Cal State LA, the property offers excellent accessibility to major freeways and public transit, making it highly attractive for commuters and students.
The property sits on a generous 4,808 sqft lot with the existing structure set back, providing ample space for potential expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to maximize value.
Featuring mature trees for natural privacy and a large rear driveway, the property addresses common urban challenges by providing significant off-street parking and a secluded residential feel.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 1.
There is a notable discrepancy between the 3-bedroom listing and the 1-bedroom public record, which may indicate unpermitted additions and could complicate traditional financing or future resale.
