More Insights
Built in 1907 (118 years old).
Condition: The property features extensively remodeled kitchen and primary bathroom with modern finishes, new appliances, and high-quality materials, making these areas excellent. Hardwood floors are present throughout and appear well-maintained. However, the home was built in 1907, and while cosmetically updated, the listing notes potential age-related maintenance concerns for underlying infrastructure. Crucially, there is no mention of a central cooling system, which is a significant drawback for an 'Excellent' rating in Los Angeles. The dining room also retains some older stylistic elements (light fixture, mirrored wall). Therefore, it is move-in ready with significant updates but falls short of 'Excellent' due to its age, potential underlying system issues, and lack of central AC.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit / Income Potential: The property features a main residence, a remodeled upstairs unit (750 SF, 1 bed + den, 1 bath), and a permitted 773 SF storage/recreation room with a bedroom, offering significant flexibility for multi-generational living or rental income opportunities.
Prime & Accessible Location: Situated in the 'sought after Jefferson Park' and 'Historic West Adams' area, the property boasts quick access to the Santa Monica freeway, Downtown, Koreatown, and trendy local establishments, enhancing convenience and lifestyle.
Extensive Modern Remodels: Both the main residence and the upstairs unit have undergone significant remodeling, including a 'bright and open Chef's kitchen' and updated bathrooms with a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower, suggesting move-in readiness and contemporary appeal.
Historic Charm with Updates: Built in 1907, the property retains its historic character with features like hardwood floors and a fireplace, while benefiting from modern updates, offering a desirable blend of classic appeal and contemporary comfort.
Versatile Additional Living Space: The 'permitted 773 SF storage/recreation room' includes a bedroom and a one-car garage, providing valuable extra space that can serve various purposes, such as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: As a 1907 build, despite remodels, the property may still present underlying issues common to older homes, such as aging infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) or potential foundation concerns, which could lead to unexpected future expenses.
Ambiguity of Unit Legality/Configuration: While the 'storage/recreation room' is noted as permitted, the legal status of the 'upstairs unit' as a separate dwelling or ADU is not explicitly clarified as permitted, which could raise questions regarding zoning compliance, rental legality, and financing options.
Limited Parking & No Cooling System: The property description explicitly mentions only a 'one car garage,' which may be insufficient for a multi-unit property or one with multiple bedrooms. Additionally, there is no mention of a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which can be a significant drawback in Los Angeles's climate.
