Whittier, California 90601
This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $785,000—positioned well above the $596,847 Fair Market Value by -31%. Featuring a Condition Rating of 5, the asset requires significant rehabilitation to address the unpermitted garage conversion and dated systems. While the recent roof replacement adds value, the property is best suited for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Contractors capable of navigating code compliance and interior modernization to unlock the home's full potential within the Whittier Union High district.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Property is over 100 years old (built 1923) with no evidence of a full renovation. While the roof is recent (2 years), the unpermitted garage conversion and lack of interior updates suggest significant deferred maintenance and the need for a full rehab to address dated systems and potential safety/code issues.
The property features a fourth bedroom and second bathroom that are legally permitted, providing verified living space and added value over standard 3-bedroom homes in the area.
The roof was replaced only two years ago with proper permits, offering the new owner peace of mind and reducing immediate maintenance expenses.
With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms configured within 1,200 square feet, the home offers a highly functional layout that maximizes space for families or rental potential.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1200, other record living area = 978. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
The 2-car garage has been converted into living space without permits, which may present challenges with financing, appraisal valuations, and future building code compliance.
Having been on the market for over 180 days, the property may face a 'stale' listing perception, often requiring aggressive pricing or concessions to attract new interest.
More photos coming soon. Don't miss this opportunity to own this cozy home! It offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (the title shows 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), but the fourth bedroom and second bathroom are legally permitted. It also includes the convenience of a 2-car garage (the garage has been converted into living space without a permit). The roof was replaced 2 years ago with a permit.
