Bathed in natural light, the interior features new hardwood floors, high-end fixtures, and a versatile lofted bonus space with skylights. The open-concept chef's kitchen -- anchored by premium appliances and a dedicated dry bar -- flows effortlessly to the dining room and through double doors to the expansive patio for a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. An adjacent laundry area is conveniently located off the bedroom wing for easy access. All windows and doorways are framed in white oak, while all three bedrooms feature custom built-in rattan wardrobes and cabinetry. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard patio and includes a spacious ensuite bath with a picture window, soaking tub, and double vanity. Beneath the design-forward aesthetic lies true peace of mind, with a new foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. Outside, the private yard includes multiple areas for entertaining, a filtered cowboy tub, and a mature fruit orchard with irrigation.

Pros & Cons

Versatile Bonus Space & Natural Light: A versatile lofted bonus space with skylights adds functional square footage, and the interior is 'bathed in natural light,' enhancing the living experience.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1480, other record living area = 1281. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Significant Price Appreciation: The current list price of $1.295M represents a substantial increase from its last sale at $605,000 in November 2024, which may require strong justification of renovation costs to potential buyers.
Compact Lot Size: The 4,205 sqft lot size is relatively modest for a single-family home in Los Angeles, potentially limiting future expansion or appealing to buyers seeking larger outdoor acreage.
Original Build Year Perception: Despite a comprehensive 'studs-out' renovation, the original build year of 1904 might still create a perception of an older property for some buyers, potentially leading to questions about long-term maintenance or historical elements not fully replaced.
