More Insights
Built in 1954 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1954, this property has undergone significant renovations, making it move-in ready. The main kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, indicating an update within the last 5-15 years. The main living areas and primary bedroom boast dark hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and contemporary light fixtures. While the built year is older, the extensive visible updates, including quadruple-pane windows, bring the property's condition up considerably. The lower-level kitchenette is functional for a rental unit. The primary bathroom is not fully visible but appears updated. The only minor concern preventing an 'Excellent' score is the lack of explicit information on major system updates (like HVAC) for a home of this age, as noted in the weaknesses.

About this home
Calling all creatives! This is a one of a kind, versatile and very quiet home in the heart of Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills. In its former life this property served as a recording studio and its quadruple-pane windows promise tranquility, despite being central to so many of our fair city's offerings - Pantages, Runyon Canyon, The Hollywood Sign, The Hollywood Bowl and more. The upper floor features a bright and open living area, with vaulted ceilings, a stage, welcoming kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, sophisticated powder room and a sunken primary bedroom with en suite bath. The lower level offers a roomy 2nd bedroom plus a wonderful bonus space which has been generating income as a well-reviewed short-term rental unit, complete with charming kitchenette + private bedroom & bath. There's also a 2 car garage and sweet outdoor seating area. This is one of those L.A. properties you must see to fully appreciate. A great loft alternative that's filled with positive rock-star energy. **Title shows 2 beds/2 baths; Sellers purchased it in its current configuration. Buyers to investigate.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in the heart of Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills, the property offers unparalleled access to iconic attractions like Pantages, Runyon Canyon, The Hollywood Sign, and The Hollywood Bowl.
Income-Generating Potential: The lower level features a well-reviewed short-term rental unit with a private bedroom, bath, and kitchenette, providing a significant source of passive income.

Modernized Interior Features: The upper floor includes a welcoming kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, complemented by bright, open living areas and a sophisticated powder room.
Cons
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2774, living area = 1995.
Discrepancy in Recorded vs. Actual Configuration: The property's title shows 2 beds/2 baths, while it is currently configured as 3 beds/3 baths. This discrepancy requires buyer investigation and could impact financing or appraisal.
Limited Lot Size: With a lot size of only 2,774 sqft, the property offers minimal outdoor space and limited potential for expansion, which may not appeal to buyers seeking larger grounds.
Potential for Undisclosed System Updates/Lack of Modern HVAC: As a 1954 build, despite some interior updates, there is no explicit mention of comprehensive system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), and the absence of a modern cooling system could be a drawback in Los Angeles' climate.
