Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, featuring a brand-new roof installed in 2025 and a reinforced retaining wall from 2021. The interior has been updated with recessed lighting, laminate wood flooring, and a functional kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and a mosaic tile backsplash. While the 1922 structure and certain finishes reflect a renovation style from approximately 10-15 years ago rather than a brand-new build, the home meets the criteria for 'good' condition due to its immediate livability and significant recent structural maintenance.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Recent Structural Upgrades
The property features a brand-new roof installed in 2025 and a reinforced retaining wall completed in 2021, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure and addressing common hillside concerns.
- Scenic Hillside Views
Perched in the El Sereno hills, the home offers beautiful city light and hillside views, providing a picturesque backdrop that enhances the property's overall desirability and value.
- Prime Northeast LA Location
Ideally situated with quick access to Highland Park, South Pasadena, and Downtown Los Angeles, making it a perfect hub for those seeking proximity to creative centers and eclectic dining.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Square Footage Discrepancy
There is a notable inconsistency between the advertised 1,475 square feet and the data-listed 1,227 square feet, which could complicate the appraisal process and buyer expectations.
- Hillside Topography
While offering views, the hillside location may limit the amount of usable flat yard space and requires long-term attention to drainage and slope stability.
