Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this home is move-in ready but shows clear signs of age and dated finishes. While the living areas feature updated laminate flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen contains older oak-style cabinetry, basic tile flooring, and a mix of older white and stainless steel appliances. The property appears well-maintained through regular upkeep rather than a comprehensive modern renovation.
The property is exceptionally well-positioned near Los Angeles’ premier lifestyle hubs, including The Grove, Beverly Center, and Century City, offering residents elite access to high-end dining, shopping, and employment centers.
With valuable improvements already in place, this residence offers a turnkey solution for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a manageable and updated living space in a competitive market.
Situated on a nearly 4,800-square-foot lot, the property provides ample outdoor space and significant potential for future square footage expansion or the addition of an ADU to increase total value.
At just 828 square feet, the interior living space is quite compact, which may pose challenges for growing families or those requiring a dedicated home office environment.
The property is zoned for local middle and high schools with lower academic ratings, which could be a deterrent for education-focused families and impact long-term appreciation compared to neighboring districts.

The layout is ideal for first-time buyers, couples, small families, or those looking for a centrally located Los Angeles property with manageable living space.
