Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1923, this property is over 100 years old, suggesting that many original systems (electrical, plumbing) are likely outdated and will require future upgrades. While the roof was replaced 2 years ago and a 4th bedroom/2nd bathroom were legally permitted, indicating some significant updates and maintenance, the listing explicitly notes an unpermitted garage conversion, which is a major issue requiring remediation. The absence of interior photos, especially for the kitchen and bathrooms, prevents a full assessment of their condition and style, but given the age, they are likely functional but outdated, requiring minor updates or repairs to meet modern standards. The property is aged but has received some upkeep, fitting the 'Fair' category.
The property features a legally permitted 4th bedroom and 2nd bathroom, significantly enhancing its functional living space and value beyond the original title records.
A new roof, installed just two years ago with proper permits, provides significant peace of mind and reduces immediate capital expenditure for the new homeowner.
Built in 1923, the home is likely nestled within a mature and desirable Whittier neighborhood, offering a sense of history and community appeal.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1200, other record living area = 978. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
The 2-car garage has been converted into living space without proper permits, posing potential legal, insurance, and resale challenges, and eliminating dedicated parking/storage.
While offering character, the 1923 construction year implies that original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) may be outdated and could require future upgrades or maintenance.
More photos coming soon. Don't miss this opportunity to own this cozy home!
