Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, this 44-year-old townhome shows some cosmetic updates like newer laminate flooring and fresh paint, but remains largely dated. The bathrooms feature original 1980s vanities, tile, and fixtures, and popcorn ceilings are present throughout. While functional and move-in ready, it requires significant modernization of the kitchen, baths, and potentially older systems to meet modern standards.
Situated in the desirable Garvey Hill area with immediate access to the 10 and 710 freeways, Cal State LA, and Atlantic Times Square, offering exceptional convenience for commuters and students.
The layout features two spacious primary suites with walk-in closets and a flexible main-level den that can easily serve as a third bedroom or home office, maximizing the 1,409 square feet of living space.
Includes a charming enclosed patio with a mature lemon tree and a balcony offering mountain and valley views, providing rare outdoor serenity and additional living space for a townhome.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
The listing highlights 'endless potential' and 'opportunity to customize,' suggesting the 1980s interior may require modernization to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
The $400 monthly association fee adds a significant recurring expense to the ownership cost, which may impact the overall affordability for some prospective buyers.
