Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1923 with a kitchen update likely exceeding 20 years. The property shows visible wear including peeling porch ceilings and dated bathroom fixtures. While functional and featuring original hardwoods, the 'as-is' status and aged systems (wall heater) indicate a need for minor repairs and modernization.
Built in 1923, this home retains classic architectural charm featuring original hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and elegant arched openings that appeal to vintage enthusiasts.
Situated in the desirable El Sereno neighborhood, the property offers exceptional proximity to Downtown LA, Chinatown, and major freeways, making it ideal for commuters.
The property presents a significant value-add opportunity for investors or homeowners to build equity by modernizing the spacious kitchen and living areas while preserving its original charm.
The property is being sold in as-is condition, which implies the need for immediate capital investment for repairs, upgrades, or deferred maintenance.
With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom residence, the layout may be a drawback for modern families or buyers looking for higher utility and convenience.
