Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property is a 1947 build that has undergone partial updates, including central HVAC and newer vinyl windows, but remains dated overall. The kitchen features older oak cabinetry and terracotta-style tile, while the bathroom shows mid-range renovations from several years ago. Marketed as a fixer-opportunity, the home requires cosmetic interior work and exterior maintenance, such as addressing peeling paint on the eaves and general yard cleanup.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Highland Park Location

    Situated in a high-demand Northeast LA neighborhood, the property offers easy access to the 110 Freeway and is minutes from the trendy dining and shopping on York Blvd and Figueroa St.

  • Modern Infrastructure Upgrades

    Unlike many homes of this era, this property features essential modern updates including central air and heat throughout and newer windows, reducing immediate capital expenditure.

  • ADU and Expansion Potential

    The lot features a long driveway for 3–4 vehicles and usable front and back yard space, providing an excellent opportunity to add value through an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 800, other record living area = 672.

  • Limited Square Footage

    With only 800 square feet of living space, the home's small footprint may be restrictive for growing families or buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.

  • Renovation Needs

    The property is positioned as a fixer-opportunity, meaning buyers should budget for additional time and capital to address necessary repairs and cosmetic updates.
