Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1926 with no evidence of modern renovation, this property shows significant deferred maintenance. Interior images reveal peeling paint, ceiling damage, and bathrooms that appear to be 50+ years old. The 'as-is' trust sale status and visible state of the basement systems indicate the home requires a comprehensive rehab to meet modern safety and functional standards.
Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Situated in one of Los Angeles' most coveted neighborhoods, this property offers exceptional walkability to Westwood Village and UCLA, with immediate proximity to Beverly Hills and Century City.
The generous 8,638 sq. ft. lot features a private, meticulously maintained backyard with mature trees, offering a rare outdoor sanctuary and premium space for entertaining.
The property is a Trust Sale being sold in 'as-is' condition, which likely necessitates additional capital for modernizing systems or addressing deferred maintenance typical of a century-old home.
Despite its prestigious location and large lot, the property lacks the elevated or panoramic views often sought by luxury buyers in the surrounding Westside hills.
