Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1908, this property is significantly aged. However, the kitchen and bathrooms have received modern updates, including white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and contemporary vanities. A 'newer roof' is also noted. While these updates make the home functional and presentable, the overall structure and potentially other systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely original or older, showing signs of age and wear. The exterior also exhibits some wear. It is move-in ready but aligns with the 'Fair' category as an aged home maintained with occasional updates, rather than a full, recent renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Potential & Generous Lot: The property boasts a substantial 6,081 sqft lot with clear potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant future value appreciation or rental income opportunities.
Strategic Central Location: Positioned in Mid Los Angeles, the home offers excellent proximity to essential amenities including shopping, schools, and major freeways, enhancing convenience and desirability.
Abundant Parking & Detached Garage: A long driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a detached 1-car garage, a valuable asset in urban settings.
Recent Roof Replacement: A 'newer roof' indicates a significant capital expense has already been addressed, reducing immediate maintenance concerns and costs for the new owner.
Practical 3-Bedroom Layout: The home features three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms within 1,218 sqft, providing a functional and sought-after floor plan suitable for various living arrangements.
Cons
Age and Implied Interior Condition: Built in 1908, the property's age suggests potential for outdated interiors and systems (beyond the roof), likely requiring significant renovation investment to meet modern standards.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description does not specify any cooling system, which could be a considerable drawback during Los Angeles's hot summer months, potentially necessitating a costly installation.
Proximity to Freeway Noise: While convenient, the home's 'close proximity to freeway' may expose residents to increased traffic noise, impacting the overall living environment for some buyers.
