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. The kitchen is updated with contemporary cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom features a renovated vanity and soaking tub. While it retains original elements like hardwood floors and crown molding, the overall condition is well-maintained with no immediate repairs required, and the building has been seismically retrofitted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
With a strict prohibition on short-term rentals (Airbnb), the property limits flexibility for investors seeking high-yield vacation rental opportunities.
