Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1955, features several positive updates including new luxury vinyl flooring, recessed lighting, central AC and heat, and visibly updated kitchen and bathrooms with modern fixtures, cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. However, the significant weakness of an unpermitted bedroom conversion (marketed as 4 beds, titled as 2) prevents it from achieving a 'Good' score. This unpermitted work represents a substantial defect that could require significant repairs or legalization, impacting the property's overall soundness and future value, despite the otherwise functional and cosmetically appealing renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
ADU Potential: The property offers significant potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in its large backyard, which can also accommodate up to 7 cars, enhancing future value and income possibilities.
Central HVAC System: Equipped with central air conditioning and heating, providing year-round comfort, a highly desirable feature in the Los Angeles climate.
Recent Interior Updates: The home features new luxury vinyl flooring in all bedrooms and recessed lighting throughout, offering a modern and updated aesthetic.
Spacious Living Areas: The property boasts a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room, providing ample space for family living and entertaining.
Convenient Location: Strategically located with easy access to freeways, shopping centers, metro, and public transportation, offering excellent connectivity and convenience.
Cons
Unpermitted Bedroom Conversion: The property is marketed as 4 bedrooms but the title officially records only 2 bedrooms, indicating unpermitted conversions that may require legalization, impacting financing, insurance, and future resale.
Significant Overpricing: The current list price of $720,000 is considerably higher than the estimated property value of approximately $475,680 and recent comparable sales, suggesting it may be significantly overpriced for the market.
Age and Potential Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1955, despite some cosmetic updates, the property's age suggests potential for older underlying systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) that may require substantial investment for maintenance or replacement in the near future.
