Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1906, the property is significantly aged but avoids a 'poor' rating due to critical system upgrades including a newer electrical panel, plumbing, and dual-pane windows. While functional with newer laminate flooring, the 'starter home with upside' designation and lack of a recent full-scale renovation suggest the kitchen and bath are dated and require modernization.
Situated just one block from Figueroa Street, the property offers exceptional walkability to Highland Park's trendy boutiques, dining, and the Metro A Line for easy commuting.
This 1906 bungalow maintains its historic character within an HPOZ while featuring essential infrastructure improvements, including an upgraded electrical panel and plumbing.
The property includes a rare gated driveway, a single-car garage, and a lush yard with mature fruit trees, providing significant privacy and parking value in a dense urban neighborhood.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
At only 744 square feet, the compact living space and single-bathroom layout may be restrictive for growing families or those requiring a home office.
Being located in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone means any exterior modifications or expansions are subject to strict city guidelines, potentially increasing the cost and complexity of future renovations.
