Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1942, this cottage is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but the kitchen and bathroom finishes are dated (likely 20-30+ years old). While it features some updated systems like a Nest thermostat and smart irrigation, the core interior components and original 80-year-old oak floors align with the 'Fair' criteria for properties needing cosmetic updates.
This 1942 cottage features authentic period details including original 80-year-old oak hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, and timeless brick accents that provide a rare sense of history and quality.
The property includes a detached two-car garage and a long driveway suitable for RV/boat parking, offering significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion or a creative workshop.
Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street with no through traffic, the home offers a peaceful residential setting while maintaining close proximity to major film studios, NoHo West, and key freeway interchanges.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1200, other record living area = 1099. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the home's layout may be a significant drawback for modern families or buyers looking for a primary suite.
At 1,200 square feet, the interior space is relatively modest for a three-bedroom residence, which may feel restrictive for those requiring larger communal living areas.
