More Insights

Built in 1917 (109 years old).
Condition: This 1917 Craftsman has been well-maintained and features updated kitchen and bathrooms. However, the style of these updates (e.g., kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, bathroom tiling) appears to be from 15-25 years ago rather than recent. The property's age suggests underlying systems (plumbing, electrical) are likely outdated, and the explicit absence of central air conditioning is a significant functional deficiency for a Los Angeles property. While move-in ready, it requires minor to moderate updates and potentially substantial investment in major systems to meet modern standards and comfort.

About this home

Set in Victoria Park - an exclusive enclave gated on three sides and inspired by Frederick Law Olmsted's iconic circular street design - this 1917 Craftsman sits at the end of the street, seeing virtually no through traffic and providing a safe place for kids to play. Buyers can seize its endless possibilities with R-2 zoning, previously approved two-story ADU plans and the potential to create an additional JR ADU. Spectacular curb appeal draws you in as you walk up the hedge-lined stone walkway and enter directly into the open living room with fireplace. Immediately to your right is a big front office or den (could be a 4th bedroom), while straight-ahead lies the large dining space that can easily accommodate dinner parties of 10. The generous kitchen offers a big central island with seating, abundant workspace, and even has room for an eat-in area. With two downstairs full bathrooms and a bonus corner office, there is a unique opportunity to create a separate 1-bedroom suite with its own entrance, ideal for an aging parent or as a potential Jr ADU - 5th bedroom, anyone? Upstairs, three bright bedrooms, two featuring walk-in closets, sit above the trees and share one full bathroom. Out back, the yard is an urban retreat, complete with a hedged stone conversation pit and a large, flat patio space perfect for entertaining. The two-car garage can be converted to an ADU, finished as a workshop, or simply remain a garage. The driveway fits 4 cars and with its end of street location, there is ample street parking for guests.

Prime & Private Location: Situated in Victoria Park, an exclusive, gated enclave with a circular street design, and at the end of the street, ensuring minimal through traffic, enhanced safety, and privacy.
Flexible Living & Income Configuration: The layout allows for a separate 1-bedroom suite with its own entrance, ideal for multi-generational living, a dedicated home office, or potential rental income (Jr ADU).
Charming Craftsman Architecture & Curb Appeal: A 1917 Craftsman with spectacular curb appeal, a hedge-lined stone walkway, and an open living room with a fireplace, retaining classic architectural charm.
Generous Parking & Outdoor Space: Features a driveway accommodating 4 cars, ample street parking, and an urban retreat yard with a hedged stone conversation pit and a large, flat patio perfect for entertaining.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: As a 1917 build, the property may require substantial investment to update core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to modern standards and improve energy efficiency.
Limited Upstairs Bathroom Ratio: Three upstairs bedrooms share a single full bathroom, which could present practical challenges and inconvenience for a family or multiple residents.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which is a significant consideration in the Los Angeles climate and would likely require a costly installation.
