More Insights

Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: Built in 1941, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with functional systems like central AC and copper plumbing. However, the kitchen, despite having brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring, features older tile countertops, traditional white cabinets, and dated appliances. The bathroom also shows an older tile style and fixtures, suggesting renovations that are 15-25 years old rather than recent. While clean and functional, these key areas are outdated in style and would require minor updates for a modern aesthetic.

About this home

Charming and versatile, this 2-bedroom traditional in a quiet, tree-lined Westside pocket offers an ideal starter home, rental investment or expand/rebuild opportunity. Located in the Beverlywood HOA-adjacent Castle Heights neighborhood of West Los Angeles, the home provides approximately 1,000 square feet of living space at an excellent value price point for this prime area. Inside, a light-filled living room welcomes you with a cozy fireplace and vintage light oak wood floors that flow seamlessly into the front-facing dining room. Built-in cabinetry and a bright bay window create a warm, character-rich setting for everyday meals or entertaining. The kitchen features tile counter tops and brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring, with an adjacent laundry room that includes side-by-side washer and dryer and a new exterior door for added convenience. Central air conditioning and copper plumbing further enhance comfort and peace of mind. The exterior spaces offer plenty of usable outdoor living and expansion potential. A paver-lined driveway leads to a detached, remote-controlled 2-car garage that presents a strong candidate for ADU conversion, subject to buyer investigation and city requirements. The private, fenced rear yard includes a grassy area and a raised wood deck shaded by mature avocado and fig trees, while the side yard is lined with abundant lemons and lush foliage, creating a true garden feel. This home feeds to award-winning Castle Heights Elementary School (9 out of 10 Greatschools.org), a significant long-term benefit for both owner-occupants and future resale value. Its central Westside location places you close to downtown Culver City, Century City, and Beverly Hills, with easy access to the 10 Freeway and the Expo light rail line for convenient trips to Downtown Los Angeles, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica. Set on a quiet, safe, tree-lined residential street surrounded by higher-priced homes and numerous recent rebuilds, this property offers rare flexibility at its price point. Buyers can enjoy it as a move-in-ready single-family home, hold it as a rental, or explore the potential for expansion. Opportunities like this in such a sought-after West Los Angeles location tend not to last.
