Property is move-in ready.

This 1923 historic studio is move-in ready and has been extensively remodeled to blend vintage charm with modern functionality.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Historic Charm & Modern Updates

    This top-floor studio masterfully blends 1920s vintage character—featuring 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and Art Deco details—with a modern remodel, offering a unique and stylish living space.

  • Strategic Urban Connectivity

    Boasting a high-demand location just three blocks from the Metro Red Line and within 1.5 miles of USC and DTLA, the property provides exceptional accessibility for students and urban professionals.

  • Comprehensive HOA Benefits

    The HOA covers nearly all utilities and offers extensive amenities including a gym and library, while the building's lack of balconies simplifies the financing process by avoiding SB 326 inspection requirements.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Lack of On-Site Parking

    The absence of dedicated on-site parking requires residents to rely on third-party lots nearly 900 feet away, which may be a significant drawback for vehicle owners in Los Angeles.

  • Restrictive Rental Policy

    With a strict prohibition on short-term rentals (Airbnb), the property limits flexibility for investors seeking high-yield vacation rental opportunities.
