More Insights
Built in 1907 (119 years old).
Condition: Built in 1907, this property's age, combined with the complete absence of interior photos, strongly suggests that the kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior components are severely outdated and require substantial rehabilitation. While the description mentions a 'newer roof and central A/C,' the exterior images show significant wear and visible window AC units, contradicting the 'central A/C' claim for at least one unit. The property likely has outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) and finishes that necessitate major investment to meet modern standards and comfort.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in a prime Uptown Whittier location, offering convenient access to shops, dining, and entertainment, enhancing tenant appeal and property value.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex with two distinct units (2-bedroom and 3-bedroom), it provides immediate rental income potential, making it an attractive investment or owner-user opportunity.
Dedicated Parking: Each unit benefits from its own 2-car garage, a significant amenity that adds value and convenience for tenants in an urban setting.
Recent Major Upgrades: Key improvements include a newer roof and central A/C, reducing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner and enhancing comfort.
Corner Lot Advantage: The property's corner lot position often provides increased natural light, better curb appeal, and potentially more privacy compared to interior lots.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1907, the property's age suggests potential for outdated infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and deferred maintenance beyond the mentioned roof and A/C upgrades.
Potential for Interior Renovation: While major systems are updated, the description does not specify interior renovations, implying kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes may be dated and require significant investment to meet modern standards.
Limited Lot Size: With a lot size of 4530 sqft for a duplex, private outdoor space for each unit may be limited, which could be a drawback for tenants seeking larger yards or recreational areas.
