Built in 1913, this Craftsman home is functional and move-in ready but significantly dated. The kitchen cabinets and finishes appear to be over 30 years old, and the listing explicitly suggests a 'full remodeling' or development opportunity. While the inclusion of central air conditioning is a positive system update, the overall interior requires extensive cosmetic and functional modernization.
The property offers significant densification opportunities, with the potential to add multiple ADUs or redevelop into a multi-unit site per LADBS guidelines, maximizing investment returns.
Built in 1913, this classic residence features desirable architectural details like box-beamed ceilings and central air conditioning, providing a character-rich foundation for restoration.
The 6,796-square-foot lot provides ample space for outdoor living, future expansions, or the construction of detached accessory dwelling units in a high-demand urban area.
