Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Despite being built in 1924, this property has undergone an extensive and recent 're-imagining' as described, evident in the images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, dark solid-surface countertops, new stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, gas range, microwave), and recessed lighting. Both bathrooms are thoroughly updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and subway tile surrounds. The flooring throughout appears new and consistent, and the overall aesthetic is fresh and modern. The presence of paid-off solar panels further indicates recent significant upgrades, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years, with virtually new components meeting current quality standards.
The property boasts significant eco-friendly attributes including paid-off solar panels, a greywater system, an edible garden with various fruit trees, and low-water California Native landscaping, appealing to an ecocentric lifestyle.
Nestled in the El Sereno hills, the bungalow offers city lights and hill views, providing a tranquil and private retreat from the bustling city.
The home features updated bathrooms with newer tile and finishes, high pitched ceilings that enhance the sense of space, and an efficient layout that maximizes the actual square footage.
With only 650 square feet, the home is quite compact, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more living space or accommodating a larger household.
Built in 1924, while 're-imagined' and updated in parts, an older home may still present potential for unforeseen maintenance issues or require updates to original systems not explicitly mentioned.
The description does not specify dedicated parking, such as a garage or driveway, which could imply reliance on street parking, a common challenge in hillside Los Angeles neighborhoods.
