More Insights

Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, this townhouse is 50 years old. While it appears well-maintained and includes central heat and air, the interior finishes, such as the tile flooring, bathroom vanities, mirrored dining room wall, and light fixtures, are significantly outdated. These elements suggest either original construction or renovations from 25-40 years ago. The property is functional and move-in ready but requires substantial cosmetic updates to the kitchen (not pictured but likely similar condition) and bathrooms to meet modern aesthetic standards.

About this home

One of the best North of Wilshire locations, close to Franklin Elementary School and Montana Ave, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, cafes, and shops. This is one of 4 very special rear townhouse units, offering total privacy and a rooftop deck with ocean views as the clouds clear. 12 units in all. 3 bedrooms and a downstairs den/ office, which could be a 4th bedroom by adding back in a closet. There is also a loft level, bonus area, which is your second option for an office. Dining room, plus eating area in the kitchen, plus atrium, offers 3 "where to eat" options. Living room with atrium and front patio has a gas fireplace. Central heat and air. The primary bedroom with adjoining bath has a vaulted ceiling and a nice walk-in closet. The downstairs den and laundry area add an additional 120 square feet and the upstairs loft probably another 100 feet as well. Total measurement (not guaranteed) should be approximately 1,700 sqft, making this an incredibly under market value. Low HOA $425/ month. Direct access side by side parking.

Desirable Amenities & Low HOA: Equipped with central heat and air, a gas fireplace, multiple dining areas, and convenient direct-access side-by-side parking, all complemented by a relatively low HOA fee of $425/month for the area.
Enhanced Privacy & Primary Suite Comforts: As one of only four rear townhouse units, it offers superior privacy. The primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and a spacious walk-in closet.

Cons

Unverified Square Footage: The listing explicitly states the total square footage is 'not guaranteed' and presents conflicting numbers (1600 sqft vs. approximately 1700 sqft), which can create uncertainty for buyers and appraisal.
Original Construction Year (1974): Built in 1974, the property may have original systems or finishes that could require future updates or renovations to align with modern aesthetic and functional preferences.
Limited Traditional Private Outdoor Space: While boasting a rooftop deck and a front patio, the property appears to lack a substantial private yard or garden area, which might be a consideration for buyers desiring more ground-level outdoor living space.
