PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Central Location
Situated on the highly sought-after Citrus Avenue, this Hancock Park-adjacent home offers immediate proximity to Larchmont Village, The Grove, and the Fairfax District, ensuring high desirability and long-term appreciation.
- Architectural Character
Built in 1938, the residence features vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and classic architectural details that provide a unique, airy aesthetic and timeless charm.
- ADU & Value-Add Potential

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Lot Size
At 5,115 square feet, the lot is relatively modest; the footprint of the pool and detached garage leaves limited traditional green space or yard area for other uses.
- Negative Price Trend
The current list price of $1.795M is lower than the property's 2022 sale price of $1.849M, suggesting a lack of recent appreciation or potential sensitivity to current market shifts.
