Key pros and cons
Top Pros:
Dual Income & Multi-Generational Potential: Features two distinct single-family homes with separate addresses and utility meters, offering excellent potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or live-in one/rent-out the other.
Top Cons:
Age Disparity & Potential Maintenance: The significant age difference between the 1910 front house and the 2010 rear house, despite restoration, could lead to differing maintenance needs and costs, and the older structure may still present unforeseen issues.

Built in 2010 (15 years old).
Condition: This property consists of two distinct homes. The front house (c.1910) has been 'fully restored' with renovated kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, updated plumbing/electrical, and central AC/heat, bringing it to a 'Good' or even 'Excellent' standard. The rear house was custom-built in 2010, making it 14 years old, which falls squarely into the 'Good' category. Both homes feature modern kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms. The recently replaced roofs on both structures further enhance the overall condition. While the front house is older, its extensive restoration and modern updates, combined with the relatively new construction of the rear house, ensure the property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual Income & Multi-Generational Potential: Features two distinct single-family homes with separate addresses and utility meters, offering excellent potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or live-in one/rent-out the other.
Restored Historic Charm with Modern Comforts: The c.1910 California Craftsman front house has been fully restored, preserving original architectural details while integrating modern amenities like renovated kitchen/baths, updated systems, and central AC/heat.
Newer Construction & Modern Rear Unit: The custom-built rear home (2010) provides contemporary living with central AC/heat and in-unit laundry, appealing to modern tenants or residents.
Ample & Versatile Parking: Boasts significant parking capacity with three garages (one 2-car, two 1-car) and three additional driveway spaces, a valuable asset for multiple residents or tenants.
Strategic Location & Investment Flexibility: Located near Uptown Whittier and Whittier College, enhancing desirability and rental demand. R-4 zoning and the option to purchase as part of a larger portfolio offer significant investment potential.
Cons
Age Disparity & Potential Maintenance: The significant age difference between the 1910 front house and the 2010 rear house, despite restoration, could lead to differing maintenance needs and costs, and the older structure may still present unforeseen issues.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which could be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas, potentially limiting its appeal in a market where views often add significant value.
Moderate Individual Home Sizes: While offering two distinct units, the individual square footages (1,427 SF and 1,015 SF) are moderate, which might not appeal to buyers seeking larger, more expansive living spaces for each unit or for a single large family.
