The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Whittier Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for both Buy-and-Hold Investors and Owner-Occupants willing to undertake light renovation work.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993, this 31-year-old property falls into the 'Fair' category as it remains largely in original condition. While the home appears well-maintained and clean, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated oak cabinetry, white appliances, and fluorescent light boxes typical of the early 90s. With no evidence of recent renovations to the major systems or interior finishes, the property is functional but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
As a rare front-unit in the Michigan Park community, this property offers enhanced privacy and a layout that functions more like a detached single-family home than a typical interior condo.
The interior features soaring ceilings, an open-concept living area, and abundant natural light, creating an airy and expansive atmosphere across nearly 1,700 square feet of living space.
The home is equipped with highly desirable conveniences including central A/C, an upstairs laundry area, and direct access to an attached garage, ensuring a seamless lifestyle.
The $324 monthly HOA fee represents a recurring carrying cost that buyers must factor into their long-term affordability compared to single-family residences.
Given the 1993 construction and lack of mentioned recent renovations, the property may require additional capital investment to modernize finishes and meet contemporary design trends.
