Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1943, this property is over 80 years old with no indication of recent extensive renovations. The exterior shows visible cracks in the stucco/paint and dated awnings, suggesting deferred maintenance. The property analysis explicitly states it 'may require substantial investment in updating older systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and cosmetic renovations.' This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria, indicating major components likely require repair or replacement to meet modern standards and ensure safety/comfort. Without interior photos, it's highly probable the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated and in need of full rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Center Street Elementary (9/10). Middle School: Richard Henry Dana Middle School (9/10).
Prime Investment Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as an opportunity for first-time investors, this duplex offers residential income potential in a highly desirable Los Angeles neighborhood.
Strategic Location: Located in the sought-after Westchester area, providing excellent proximity to major freeways, LAX, beaches, shopping centers, restaurants, and parks.
Cul-de-Sac Advantage: Positioned on a cul-de-sac, which typically offers reduced traffic, enhanced privacy, and a quieter living environment for residents.
Tenant-Friendly Amenities: Each unit includes convenient laundry hookups, and the property features a shared detached 2-car garage, adding significant appeal for renters.
Private Outdoor Space: The rear unit benefits from its own private backyard, a valuable and desirable amenity for tenants seeking personal outdoor living space.
Cons
Property Age & Potential Upgrades: Built in 1943, the property may require substantial investment in updating older systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and cosmetic renovations to meet modern standards and tenant expectations.
Compact Unit Layouts: Both units are configured as 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, which might limit the potential tenant pool and rental income compared to properties offering larger unit sizes or more bedrooms.
Mixed School District Performance: While some elementary schools nearby have good ratings, the overall school district, particularly for high schools, shows mixed performance, which could be a consideration for family-oriented tenants or future resale value.
