The property was built in 1914, making it over 100 years old. While the description states it is 'beautifully maintained' and blends 'timeless character with modern functionality' with a 'well-appointed kitchen,' there are no interior images provided to assess the actual condition, style, and features of the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, or other interior elements. The absence of explicit recent renovation dates for the main living areas, coupled with the property's age, suggests that while it is maintained, many components likely show signs of being outdated or were renovated more than 15-30 years ago. The 'brand-new detached garage' is a positive, but does not reflect the condition of the main house's interior.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7002, living area = 1638.
Great Schools: High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
Historic Charm & Architectural Style: A beautifully maintained 1914 Craftsman-style home, offering timeless character and appeal.
Desirable Location: Situated in the sought-after Park Hill Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Generous Outdoor Space: Features a large 7,000-square-foot lot with a spacious backyard, ideal for entertaining or relaxation.
New Detached Garage: Includes a brand-new detached garage, providing flexibility for parking, storage, or potential future ADU conversion.
Enhanced Privacy & Security: Benefits from a gated driveway, contributing to increased privacy and security for residents.

Cons

Significant Overpricing: The current list price of $1,299,000 is considerably higher than the estimated property value ($891,560) and recent comparable sales in the area, suggesting potential overvaluation.
Absence of Major System Upgrades: Unlike many recently sold comparable properties, the description does not mention significant modern upgrades to core systems like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, which may be expected for a 1914-built home.
Inconsistent Bedroom Count: The property description's detailing of bedrooms (two on the main level and 'two additional bedrooms' upstairs) contradicts the stated total of 3 bedrooms, potentially causing confusion for prospective buyers.
