Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1955, the home features a kitchen and bathrooms that appear largely original or have not been updated in over 30-40 years, characterized by knotty pine cabinetry and dated fixtures. While the addition of dual-pane windows and a newer dishwasher suggests some maintenance, the overall interior condition requires a significant rehab to meet modern standards, placing it in the poor category based on age and lack of recent renovations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7111, living area = 1408.
Situated in the prestigious Hollywood Riviera on a quiet cul-de-sac street, the property is walking distance to award-winning Riviera Elementary and minutes from local beaches and dining.
