Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, including a brand-new kitchen in the main house with modern grey shaker cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The interior features new wood-style laminate flooring, fresh paint, and recessed lighting. While the 1930s structure shows some age in the bathroom tiling and exterior concrete, the overall condition is well-maintained and updated, fitting the criteria for a high-quality, move-in ready residence.
The property features a main 3-bedroom home and a detached guesthouse, offering excellent opportunities for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private home office in a high-demand area.
Situated in one of Los Angeles' most desirable neighborhoods, the home is just steps away from the world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment of Melrose Avenue.
The front residence boasts a brand-new kitchen with modern appliances, fresh paint, and updated flooring, providing a move-in-ready experience within a charming 1920s architectural shell.
With only 1,429 total square feet split between two separate units, the individual living areas and bedrooms may feel undersized for buyers seeking spacious interiors.
As a 1930s-built property, potential buyers should be mindful of aging underlying systems, such as plumbing and electrical, which may require future capital investment despite cosmetic updates.
