Property is move-in ready.
The property is a 1921 bungalow that has recently undergone an extensive interior renovation, making it move-in ready. Updates include new laminate flooring, fresh paint, and a modernized bathroom with contemporary tiling and a new vanity. While the interior finishes are new, the property retains some older systems, such as a wall-mounted heater rather than central HVAC, and the exterior features basic chain-link fencing and minimal landscaping, which aligns it more closely with the 'good' rather than 'excellent' category.
The home features a fully remodeled kitchen and bathroom with new flooring and fresh paint, offering a turnkey, move-in-ready experience for first-time buyers.
Situated minutes from Downtown LA with easy access to the Metro Gold Line, USC Keck, and Cal State LA, providing excellent connectivity for commuters and students.
The inclusion of a flexible bonus area provides essential extra utility for a home office or guest space, maximizing the functionality of the floor plan.
The property was recently sold within the past year on 2026-02-05. The sold price is $360,000.00.
At approximately 608 square feet, the living space is quite compact for a two-bedroom residence, which may feel restrictive for some buyers.
The property is sold in 'as-is' condition with unverified permits for the bonus area, requiring the buyer to assume potential risks regarding compliance and future upgrades.
Just minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, this beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends privacy, comfort, and modern updates.

In addition to the two bedrooms, the home includes an unpermitted rear bonus room, excluded from the stated square footage (buyer to verify permit status and use).

A wonderful opportunity to own in a centrally located Los Angeles neighborhood. Back on market — prior buyer unable to perform, at no fault of the property. FHA, VA, and conventional financing welcome (subject to lender review). Buyer to independently verify all information including square footage, permits, and improvements.
