Condition Rating
Poor
While the visible kitchen and bathroom show recent cosmetic updates with modern fixtures, cabinets, and flooring, the property, built in 1922, has significant underlying issues. The listing explicitly mentions 'unpermitted full 2nd bathroom' and that the house has been 'divided into two parts, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with a kitchen on each side,' implying unpermitted modifications including a second kitchen. These unpermitted alterations, combined with the 'as-is' sale condition, indicate that substantial repairs and rehabilitation will be required to address potential code violations, safety concerns, and legal liabilities, pushing the property into the 'poor' category despite its recent cosmetic improvements.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
Convenient Location: The property boasts a great neighborhood location with close proximity to public transportation, shops, schools, and major freeways (110 and Santa Monica Fwy), enhancing accessibility and daily convenience.
Ample Off-Street Parking: A long driveway capable of accommodating 5-6 cars provides significant value and convenience, especially in a dense urban area like Los Angeles.
Flexible Living Space Potential: The large family room can be utilized as additional bedrooms, and the property's current division into two parts suggests potential for multi-generational living or income generation, subject to legalization.
Generous Outdoor Space: A 'big backyard with trees' offers valuable private outdoor living space, potential for landscaping, and recreational use.
Good Sized Bedrooms: The description highlights that all bedrooms are good-sized, contributing to comfortable and functional living arrangements.
Cons
Significant Unpermitted Modifications: The property features an 'unpermitted full 2nd bathroom' and has been 'divided into two parts, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with a kitchen on each side,' indicating extensive unpermitted work that poses legal, financial, and permitting risks for the buyer.
As-Is Condition & Buyer Responsibility: The property is being sold 'as-is,' requiring the buyer to assume all responsibility for inspections and potential repairs, which could lead to unforeseen costs and complications.
Mandatory Solar Panel Lease Assumption: The buyer is required to assume an existing solar panel lease of $151.00 per month, adding a fixed, ongoing expense to the monthly housing costs.
