Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Historic Property Age: Built in 1926, the property's underlying structure is nearly a century old, which, despite extensive renovations, may present long-term maintenance considerations or higher insurance premiums compared to newer builds.
Limited Main House Bathroom Count: The main three-bedroom home features only one full bathroom, which could be a functional limitation for families or multiple occupants, despite the additional 3/4 bath in the detached studio.
Modest Square Footage and Lot Size: With 1179 sqft and a 4000 sqft lot, the property offers a more compact living space and yard, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger homes or more expansive outdoor areas in Los Angeles.
