Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1923, this unit has undergone renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated light wood cabinets, speckled countertops, and basic white appliances, which, while functional, appear to be 15-25 years old and show signs of being outdated in style. The bathroom is clean and functional with a standard tub and basic white fixtures, also reflecting an older renovation style. Original hardwood floors are a plus, but the converted bedroom area has laminate flooring. While well-maintained, the property's major updated components are functional but would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards.

The property lacks dedicated on-site parking, requiring reliance on street parking or a private facility located 900 feet away, which can be inconvenient in Los Angeles.
