More Insights
Built in 1929 (96 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1929, the property is described as 'beautifully maintained' and features 'updated kitchens with granite countertops and in-unit side-by-side laundry.' The interior images, though virtually staged, show clean, bright spaces with hardwood floors and modern recessed lighting, suggesting recent cosmetic and functional updates. While the presence of a window AC unit and wall heater indicates a lack of central air conditioning, and the property's age suggests potential for aging underlying infrastructure, the overall presentation and explicit mention of updates point to a move-in ready condition with well-maintained systems, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Income Potential & Versatility: Zoning LAR3, a triplex configuration, and a separate guest house offer exceptional versatility for various uses, including a spacious private residence, multi-generational living, or a significant income-producing investment.
Prime Location: Located in a highly desirable pocket of the Pico-Robertson / Pico-La Cienega area, known for its lifestyle, opportunities, and convenient access to amenities and highly-rated schools.
Multiple Units & Guest House: The property functions as a compound with two main 2-bed/1-bath units and a separate 1-bed/1-bath guest house with an additional office, providing ample space and flexible living arrangements.
Updated Interiors: The main units feature updated kitchens with granite countertops and in-unit side-by-side laundry, indicating a well-maintained and modern living experience for tenants or residents.
Fully Vacant Status: Being fully vacant offers immediate occupancy for an owner-user or allows for seamless renovation and tenant placement without the complexities of existing leases.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1929, the property, despite being maintained, may have aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) that could require significant future investment or maintenance.
Lack of Specified Cooling System: The property description does not mention an air conditioning system, which could be a comfort concern and a potential upgrade cost for buyers in the Los Angeles climate.
Conflicting Property Type: The property is listed as a 'Townhouse' sub-type, which may cause confusion or limit visibility to potential buyers searching for multi-family or income-producing properties, given its triplex and guest house description.
