Property is move-in ready.
Although originally built in 1908, the property has undergone significant recent interior renovations making it move-in ready. The units feature updated kitchens with modern white shaker cabinets and stone countertops, renovated bathrooms with new vanities and contemporary fixtures, and new wood-look laminate flooring throughout. While the exterior stucco and fixtures show some age-related wear consistent with a century-old building, the interior living spaces have been modernized with recessed lighting and fresh paint, meeting the criteria for a well-maintained, updated income property.
The rare 7-bedroom total layout, featuring a 4BD/2BA and a 3BD/2BA unit, maximizes rental income potential and appeals to a broad tenant base seeking larger living spaces.
The inclusion of two private garages plus additional off-street parking is a significant competitive advantage in Boyle Heights, where parking is often extremely limited.
Proximity to Downtown Los Angeles, the Arts District, and USC Medical Center ensures consistent tenant demand and long-term appreciation potential in a vibrant, central hub.
Built in 1908, the property may possess aging infrastructure or systems that require more frequent maintenance and capital expenditures compared to newer builds.
The 'drive-by only' restriction and tenant-occupied status prevent a full interior assessment prior to making an offer, complicating the initial valuation and risk assessment.
