Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, the home is functional but significantly dated. The kitchen features older tile countertops and mixed-age appliances, while the bathroom retains mid-century tile with a dated vanity. Worn carpeting in the living and bonus areas, along with a backyard requiring maintenance, indicates the property needs cosmetic updates and minor repairs throughout.
The expansive 7,000 sqft lot and detached garage offer significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or further customization, adding substantial long-term value.
An additional 200 sqft bonus room provides versatile space for a home office, gym, or studio, complementing the functional 3-bedroom layout and increasing usable square footage.
Situated in one of the San Fernando Valley's most sought-after neighborhoods, this property offers strong investment potential and proximity to desirable amenities.
As a 1948 original 'opportunity,' the home likely requires significant cosmetic and structural updates to meet modern standards, necessitating additional capital investment.
With 1,363 sqft of primary living space for a 3-bedroom home, the interior layout may feel constrained for buyers accustomed to more spacious modern floor plans.

Situated on an expansive approximately 7,000 sq ft lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 1,363 sq ft of living space plus an approximately 200 sq ft bonus space added to the back of the home, ready for its next chapter.
