Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1948, this property is over 70 years old. The listing explicitly notes 'Undisclosed Condition/Lack of Modern Updates' and 'implies potential for substantial buyer investment,' indicating significant work is needed. The single exterior image shows a dated facade, weathered carport, and an older garage door, suggesting a lack of recent maintenance and updates. Without any interior photos or descriptions of renovations, particularly for the kitchen and bathrooms, it's highly probable these areas are severely outdated and require substantial rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
Desirable Bed/Bath Count: The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms configuration is highly sought after by families and provides ample living space.
Generous Lot Size with ADU Potential: The 5398 sqft lot offers significant outdoor space and strong potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), a valuable asset in the Los Angeles market.
Established Los Angeles Location: Situated in the 90044 postal code within the C34 - Los Angeles Southwest MLS area, offering access to urban amenities and a recognized residential market.
Recent Transaction History: A sale in June 2023 for $600,000 provides a clear, recent market valuation baseline for the property.
Solid Traditional Construction: Built in 1948, the home likely features robust construction typical of its era, providing a good foundation for future enhancements.
Cons
Significant Overpricing: The current list price of $725,000 is considerably higher than the property's estimated value ($425,421) and recent comparable sales, suggesting a substantial overvaluation without clear justification from the provided details.
Undisclosed Condition/Lack of Modern Updates: The sparse property description lacks details on recent renovations or modern amenities (e.g., updated kitchen, bathrooms, HVAC, roof), which is a significant concern for a 1948-built home and implies potential for substantial buyer investment.
Absence of Desirable Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may detract from its appeal in a competitive market where properties with city or neighborhood views often command higher prices.
