Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1920, this property is well-maintained and features some recent cosmetic updates such as new vinyl flooring and fresh paint. While move-in ready, the kitchen and bathroom styles remain dated, and the century-old infrastructure likely requires modernization of electrical and plumbing systems to meet current standards. It fits the 'fair' category as an aged home with functional but older components.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Significant Development Potential

    The property is zoned GLR4 - R 2250, offering a rare and lucrative opportunity to potentially develop up to 6 units in a high-demand Glendale submarket.

  • Detached Guest House

    The inclusion of a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house with a kitchenette provides immediate value for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private home office.

  • Prime Central Location

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1101, other record living area = 1176.

  • Century-Old Infrastructure

    Built in 1920, the property may require substantial investment in modernizing core systems such as plumbing, electrical, and foundation to meet current standards.

  • Limited Main House Bathrooms

    The main residence features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which may be a drawback for modern families and could limit the property's immediate resale appeal.
