Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1947, this property is 77 years old. While it benefits from updates like double-pane windows and copper plumbing, these are not indicative of a full, recent renovation. The listing explicitly states the 'property need a little TLC,' which aligns with the 'Fair' condition criteria of requiring 'minor updates or repairs.' The exterior images show an aged property with a dry lawn and general wear, supporting the need for cosmetic improvements. Without interior photos, it's reasonable to assume that the kitchen and bathrooms, along with other major components, are functional but likely outdated, consistent with a home of this age that has not undergone a comprehensive recent renovation. It does not appear to have 'significant defects affecting safety, soundness, or structural integrity' that would categorize it as 'Poor,' nor is it beyond repair for 'Tear-down.'
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strategic Location: The property boasts a 'great area' location with convenient proximity to freeways and shopping centers, enhancing daily accessibility and appeal.
ADU Development Potential: A large 7,668 sqft backyard offers significant space and potential for building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which can substantially increase property value and generate rental income.
Key Infrastructure Upgrades: The presence of double-pane windows and copper plumbing indicates valuable updates that reduce immediate maintenance concerns and improve energy efficiency.
Ample Off-Street Parking: A long driveway capable of accommodating multiple cars is a significant advantage in Los Angeles, providing convenience and addressing a common urban parking challenge.
Functional Layout: The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration provides a practical and desirable layout for families or potential renters, maximizing the 1,247 sqft of living space.
Cons
Requires Renovation/TLC: The property description explicitly states 'need a little TLC,' indicating that immediate investment will be required for cosmetic and potentially functional updates to maximize its potential.
Age-Related Maintenance: Built in 1947, despite some updates, the property may have underlying systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical, roof) that are original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially leading to future repair costs.
Lack of Specific View: The property is noted as having 'None' for views, which might limit its appeal to buyers prioritizing scenic outlooks and could affect its top-tier market value compared to properties with desirable views.
