Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1914, this property is explicitly described as a 'fixer' that 'needs work' and is a 'project for investors or buyers looking to renovate and add value.' The absence of interior images, particularly for a property marketed this way, strongly suggests that the kitchen, bathroom, and all other interior components are severely outdated, likely original, and require substantial repairs or complete replacement. The exterior image further supports a neglected state. All major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, foundation) are highly probable to be beyond their useful life and in need of significant rehabilitation to meet modern standards and safety requirements.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Strategically located minutes from major entertainment hubs like SoFi Stadium and The Forum, with excellent access to freeways, shopping, and transportation.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Explicitly positioned as an ideal project for investors or buyers seeking to renovate and substantially increase property value.
Generous Lot Size: A spacious 5,128 sqft lot offers ample room for expansion, the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or creating extensive outdoor living spaces.
Accessible Price Point: Listed at $499,999, it presents a relatively affordable entry opportunity into the Los Angeles single-family home market, especially for a property with significant upside potential.
Proximity to Schools: Located just 0.16 miles from Danny J. Bakewell, Sr., Primary Center, offering convenient access to education for young families.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is described as a 'fixer' that 'needs work,' indicating a substantial investment in time and capital will be necessary for comprehensive upgrades and modernization.
Small Interior Living Space: With only 796 sqft, the home offers limited interior living area, which may not accommodate larger households or those desiring more spacious accommodations.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1914, the home is over a century old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure, systems (plumbing, electrical), and design that will require significant updates to meet modern standards.
