More Insights

Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1925, has received recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint and new laminate flooring, and both bathrooms appear to have been remodeled or upgraded with modern fixtures and tiling. However, both kitchens feature older appliances and dated laminate countertops with tile backsplashes, indicating they have not been recently renovated. The wood paneling in one of the living areas also contributes to an outdated aesthetic. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the kitchens and some other elements show signs of being outdated and would likely require minor updates to meet current quality standards and buyer preferences.

About this home

Welcome to "Las Dos Casitas", a unique hilltop property featuring two charming little cottages with sweeping views of the LA Harbor, city lights, and snow-capped mountains. Both homes have been freshly painted inside and out and are truly move-in ready. The home at 600 is a cozy studio offering wood laminate flooring, a bright, sunlit kitchen, and a remodeled three-quarter bath. Below, a spacious unfinished walk-in basement provides excellent storage or potential to create additional usable space. Next door, the main home at 604 features an inviting covered front porch, a comfortable living room, a spacious bedroom, a kitchen, and an upgraded three-quarter bath. This home also includes a covered patio with direct access to a finished basement, complete with a large room, closet, and half bath. A shared laundry room services both homes, along with additional storage rooms. The property sits on a lot just under 6,700 square feet, with a nicely landscaped front yard and a generous rear yard offering room for future improvements. There's no garage but there are three parking spaces on the driveway at the front of the property. Ideal for an owner-occupant, extended family living, or an investor seeking market-rate rental income. Convenient freeway access makes commuting easy, and the waterfront is just a few blocks away. This is a San Pedro treasure. Dont miss it!!
