Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the kitchen has received a modern renovation with shaker cabinets and stone countertops, the property overall shows its 1926 age. The bathrooms remain dated, and the exterior exhibits significant wear including peeling stucco, cracked concrete, and older window AC units, indicating the need for minor repairs and system updates.
This duplex configuration offers excellent versatility for investors or owner-occupiers looking to house-hack, providing two distinct units to maximize rental yield in a high-demand Los Angeles market.
The primary unit features a dedicated laundry area and a bonus office space, addressing the modern demand for work-from-home functionality and enhancing overall tenant desirability.
With separate entrances for each unit and ample on-site parking, the property provides a level of privacy and convenience that serves as a significant competitive advantage in a dense urban neighborhood.
Originally built in 1926, the property may possess aging systems that could necessitate significant capital expenditures for plumbing, electrical, or structural updates to meet modern standards.
The substantial gap between the 2024 recorded sale price of $96,000 and the current $799,000 asking price may lead to valuation challenges during the appraisal and financing process.
