Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980 and offered by the original owner, the property is well-maintained but largely unrenovated. While it features new stainless-steel kitchen appliances, the cabinetry, tile countertops, mirrored walls, and bathroom fixtures are dated and reflect the original construction style. The carpets and fluorescent lighting panels further indicate a need for cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
As a corner unit with only one shared wall, this property offers superior privacy and increased natural light compared to standard mid-row townhomes.
The inclusion of a 237-square-foot bonus room—not included in the official square footage—provides significant added value for a home office, gym, or creative studio.
The property features a surprisingly spacious backyard and a private balcony, offering rare indoor-outdoor flow that is highly coveted in Los Angeles townhouse living.
The monthly HOA fee of $575 represents a substantial recurring expense that may impact the affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
Built in 1980, the home retains some era-specific design elements like mirrored walls that may require modernization to appeal to contemporary tastes.
The history of multiple price reductions from the original $949,000 list price suggests the property has struggled to find its market value in the current climate.
