Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989 (35 years old), the property is past the 20-year mark for 'Fair' condition. While the interior shows some updates like newer laminate flooring and recessed lighting, the exterior and overall age suggest that major systems (HVAC/Electric) and kitchen/bath components are likely dated and approaching the end of their functional lifespan, requiring minor repairs or modernization.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Functional Multi-Bath Layout
The 2.5-bathroom configuration is a significant advantage for a two-bedroom residence, offering enhanced privacy for occupants and a dedicated powder room for guests.
- Competitive Market Value
Priced under $500,000 in the Los Angeles County market, this property represents an accessible entry point for first-time buyers or investors seeking a turnkey-ready townhouse.
- Low Association Fees

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
