Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is a well-maintained 1916 Craftsman complex that is move-in ready. It features significant recent updates including new roofs on both the front bungalow and the rear duplex. The interiors showcase well-preserved historic character with knotty pine flooring and exposed wood beams. While the kitchens and bathrooms are functional and clean, they reflect a well-kept older style rather than a brand-new modern renovation. The exterior is enhanced by lush landscaping and a rare gated four-car parking area, indicating consistent upkeep and pride of ownership.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Venice Location

    Situated on a quiet tree-lined street just two blocks from Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the property offers elite walkability to premier dining, shopping, and Venice Beach.

  • Multi-Unit Income Potential

    The configuration of a front bungalow plus a detached duplex allows for high rental yield or a flexible owner-user setup where one can live in one unit while leasing the other two.

  • Rare Gated Parking

    The inclusion of gated parking for four cars with electric access is a significant premium in the Venice market, where parking is often scarce and highly valued.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3138, other record living area = 2328. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 6, other record bedroom count = 5.

  • Historic Infrastructure

    Built in 1916, the property may require specialized maintenance or upgrades to aging plumbing and electrical systems common in century-old Craftsman homes.

  • Low Bathroom-to-Bedroom Ratio

    Each two-bedroom residence features only one bathroom, which may limit appeal for modern tenants or families seeking more contemporary convenience and privacy.

About 643 Santa Clara Avenue

Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street two blocks from Abbot Kinney, this property combines a Craftsman bungalow with a detached duplex. As you enter, you're greeted by lush landscaping that surrounds the grounds, one of the unique characteristics of this setting. The front bungalow includes a new roof, private deck, open layout, wood-beam details, and a built-in window seat. Each of the three residences offers two bedrooms, one bath, full-size laundry, and a private outdoor area. Shared interior elements include exposed beams, knotty pine flooring, and natural light. The rear up-and-down duplex includes a new roof and carries the same interior features. Both duplex residences offer private outdoor areas; the lower unit's primary bedroom features double doors which open directly to its outdoor space, and the upper unit includes vaulted ceilings and skylights that create an open, airy feel. Gated parking for four cars sits at the rear with electric gate access. Ideal for an owner-user or investor with the option to live in one residence while leasing the others. Located steps from Abbot Kinney, the property offers walkability to dining, boutiques, and Venice Beach.
