Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1918 and explicitly stated as 'first time on the market in 50+ years' with a call to 'bring your imagination,' this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen is severely outdated with an old refrigerator and linoleum flooring, lacking modern appliances or cabinetry. Bathrooms feature very dated green and red tile work and basic fixtures. The property lacks central air conditioning, relying on a wall-mounted unit. Bedrooms have old, dated carpets. While the structure appears sound, the interior finishes and major systems are well past their prime and necessitate extensive renovation to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Situated in the heart of Los Angeles with excellent proximity to the Metro B-line, Los Angeles City College, and Kaiser Permanente, offering convenience and accessibility.
Significant Lot Size: A generous 6,750 square foot lot provides ample outdoor space for various uses, a valuable asset in urban Los Angeles.
Renovation Opportunity: Being on the market for over 50 years and described as a 'blank canvas' presents a rare chance for buyers to customize and add substantial value through modernization.
Mature Landscaping: The presence of mature fruit trees enhances the property's charm and offers a unique natural amenity.
Detached Garage: A one-car detached garage provides practical off-street parking and additional storage, a desirable feature.
Cons
Age and Required Updates: Built in 1918, the property is very old and will likely require extensive renovation and system upgrades to meet modern living standards and expectations.
Implied Condition: The description 'Bring your imagination' and 'create your dream living environment' strongly suggests the property is not move-in ready and requires significant investment in improvements.
Lack of Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None', which could be a disadvantage for buyers seeking scenic outlooks, a common desire in the Los Angeles market.
