Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1950 and on the market for the first time in 50 years, the property is significantly dated. The kitchen and bathrooms retain original mid-century tiling and cabinetry, placing the last major renovation well beyond the 30-50 year threshold. While the home is 'lovingly maintained,' the age of the systems and finishes necessitates a comprehensive rehab to meet modern standards.
Situated in a highly sought-after Culver City neighborhood, the property offers access to award-winning schools and is within walking distance to major retail, dining, and Silicon Beach tech hubs.
The generous 5,503-square-foot lot provides significant opportunity for future expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering excellent long-term value appreciation.
Featuring original oak hardwood floors and a classic red brick fireplace, this 'first time on the market in 50 years' home provides a solid, lovingly maintained foundation for customization.
Given the home's 50-year ownership history and 1950s build, buyers should anticipate the need for significant cosmetic and system updates to meet contemporary luxury standards.
At 1,271 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest for the $1.485M price point, which may feel restrictive for larger families without immediate expansion.
