More Insights
Built in 1920 (106 years old).
Condition: Built in 1920, this property is over 100 years old. The listing description itself highlights the need for 'significant modernization, system upgrades, and potential structural work to meet contemporary living standards.' Crucially, there are no interior images provided, especially of the kitchen and bathrooms. This absence strongly indicates that these key areas are in very poor, outdated condition, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation rather than minor updates. The property's value is largely in its R4 zoning and location, implying the existing structure needs a major overhaul.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Brentwood Location: Situated in a highly coveted Westside neighborhood, offering excellent access to upscale boutiques, dining, entertainment, UCLA, Century City, and major freeways.
Significant Development Potential (R4 Zoning): The R4 zoning provides substantial flexibility for redevelopment, expansion, or multi-unit construction, maximizing investment returns.
ADU Conversion Opportunity: A detached garage offers immediate potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enabling a lucrative two-unit setup for rental income or multi-generational living.
Attractive Entry Price Point: Marketed as the 'least expensive SFR in coveted Brentwood,' it presents a rare opportunity for buyers to enter a premium market at a more accessible price.
Access to Top-Rated Schools: Located within proximity to several highly-rated public elementary, middle, and high schools, enhancing its appeal to families.
Cons
Advanced Age & Potential for Renovation: Built in 1920, the property likely requires significant modernization, system upgrades, and potential structural work to meet contemporary living standards.
Compact Living Space: With only 895 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the interior living space is relatively small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking larger homes or growing families.
Absence of Desirable Views: The property explicitly states 'None' for views, which can be a drawback in a high-value Los Angeles market where scenic vistas often command a premium.
