Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1913, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but features significantly outdated elements, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has dark, traditional cabinets and black granite-style countertops, with tile flooring that appears to be from an older renovation (likely 15-25 years ago). The bathroom features a dated double vanity with older fixtures and what appears to be older tile in the shower area. While the hardwood floors in living areas and bedrooms are a plus, and the home is clearly livable, the critical areas (kitchen and bathrooms) require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. The property's age also suggests that major systems may be functional but are likely outdated and nearing the end of their lifespan, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Los Angeles Location: Situated in the 'heart of Los Angeles,' offering excellent convenience with close proximity to shopping, schools, and major freeways for an easy commute, enhancing its desirability.
First-Time Buyer Appeal: Explicitly marketed as 'perfect for first-time buyers,' targeting a significant market segment looking for an accessible entry point into the Los Angeles housing market.
Generous Lot Size: Features a 'generous 4,960 sq. ft. lot,' providing ample outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, or potential future expansion opportunities in a dense urban environment.
Historic Charm and Character: Built in 1913, the home offers 'unique character' and historic charm, appealing to buyers who appreciate classic architecture and a sense of history.
Future Potential: The generous lot size and desirable location offer 'future possibilities,' such as potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or expansion, adding long-term value.
Cons
Age of Property & System Updates: Constructed in 1913, the property is over a century old, which may imply a need for significant updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and efficiency expectations.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1098 sq. ft. for a 3-bedroom home, the interior living space is relatively modest, which could be a limiting factor for larger families or those desiring more expansive living areas.
Lack of Premium Amenities/Views: While it has a 'Neighborhood' view, the property description does not highlight any premium views (e.g., city skyline, ocean) or high-end modern interior finishes/smart home technology, which could limit its appeal to certain buyer segments.
