However, the score is bolstered by a 2-year-old modern ADU and recent PEX plumbing updates, preventing a 'Poor' rating despite the main home's age.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 16179, living area = 2036.
The property features a main home, a recently built 700 sqft permitted ADU, and a detached garage with a bathroom, offering exceptional potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
Sitting on a massive 16,179 square foot flat lot, the property provides rare space for future expansion, outdoor amenities, or additional parking in a desirable North Downey location.
