Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1962 and offered for the first time by the original owners, the property is in 'time capsule' condition. While the exterior and systems like windows and HVAC have seen some attention, the interior—including the kitchen, all three bathrooms, parquet flooring, and popcorn ceilings—is over 60 years old and requires a full rehab to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime North Downey Location
Situated in the highly desirable Cherokee Estates, this property offers exceptional proximity to Downey High School, Stonewood Mall, and the vibrant downtown area.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Potential for Dated Interior
As the property has been held by the original owner since 1962, buyers may need to budget for cosmetic modernizations to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet contemporary standards.
- Lack of Scenic Views
The property does not offer any significant views, which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing a scenic or elevated outlook at this price point.
