* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988 (36 years old), the home is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen features older oak cabinetry and tile countertops, and the bathrooms show older tile work. While recent cosmetic updates like fresh interior paint and engineered wood flooring make it move-in ready, the primary wet areas and overall aesthetic reflect a 15-30 year old renovation style that needs modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7163, living area = 1343.
The property features large windows and a private balcony that offer expansive views of the surrounding valley and city lights, providing a serene backdrop for the living spaces.
Ideally situated in El Sereno, the home offers quick access to major hubs including Downtown Los Angeles, the Arts District, and South Pasadena, making it a prime spot for commuters.
The kitchen utilizes tile countertops, which may be considered dated by modern buyers who typically prefer contemporary stone or quartz surfaces.
