More Insights

Built in 1908 (118 years old).
Condition: This 1908 home, while retaining some original charm like hardwood floors, shows significant signs of age and dated renovations. The kitchen features older-style wood cabinets, granite-look countertops, and dated ceramic tile flooring, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago. The bathroom is also very outdated with an ornate vanity, old-fashioned shower enclosure, and dated wall tiles. While functional, both key areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. Other areas show wear on flooring, marked walls, and basic, older light fixtures. The property is maintained but clearly aged, requiring minor to moderate updates and repairs throughout, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

About this home

Welcome to this classic 1908 Los Angeles home, where timeless character meets exceptional flexibility. Situated on a 5,551 sq ft lot, this 2-bedroom residence offers approximately 1,422 sq ft of living space with multiple opportunities to reconfigure and add value. According to the seller, there is a potential third-bedroom option that was previously considered. The seller had planned to remove the double French doors, relocate the hallway entry door to its original position leading directly into the hallway, and construct a wall with an entry door to create a third bedroom. This option may be explored through negotiations, and all buyers are advised to verify feasibility, permits, and intended use to their satisfaction. Inside, the home features original hardwood floors, higher-than-normal ceilings, and architectural details that reflect the craftsmanship and historic charm of the era. The large living room provides ample space and may offer additional flexibility for buyers, with potential to be reimagined as an expanded living area, bonus room, office, or other creative use, subject to buyer verification. Located in the heart of Boyle Heights, this property offers close proximity to Downtown Los Angeles, major freeways, public transportation, and a vibrant community known for its culture, history, and local dining. Enjoy the convenience of city living while owning a piece of Los Angeles history. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-rich home with room to grow in one of Los Angeles’ most iconic neighborhoods.
