Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1947, has undergone significant and high-quality renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which feature modern finishes, appliances, and fixtures. The addition of a fully permitted ADU with its own kitchen and bath further enhances its appeal and modernity. Hardwood flooring throughout the main house and LVP in the ADU are in excellent condition. While the visible updates are extensive and make the property move-in ready, the listing does not explicitly detail a full overhaul of all major systems (electrical, plumbing) in the main house, and the property analysis notes an 'absence of central cooling' for the main residence. These factors, combined with the original build year, place it in the 'Good' category rather than 'Excellent', which typically implies a complete, recent renovation of all components and systems.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Center Street Elementary (9/10). Middle School: Richard Henry Dana Middle School (9/10).
Income-Generating/Flexible ADU: The property includes a fully permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with its own kitchen and bath, offering significant flexibility for rental income, guest accommodation, or multi-generational living.
Prime Kentwood Location: Situated in the highly coveted Kentwood neighborhood, providing excellent proximity to Loyola Marymount University (LMU), Playa Vista, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and the vibrant Silicon Beach area.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Features a large front deck, lovely porch, spacious backyard patio, lush landscaping, and an abundance of fruit trees, creating a serene and inviting garden-like escape.
Functional & Inviting Interior Layout: Boasts a bright and open floor plan with an oversized living room and fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen with an island and pantry, a large formal dining room, and hardwood flooring throughout the main house.
Strong Elementary School Access: Located near several highly-rated elementary schools, including Kentwood Elementary and Cowan Avenue Elementary, making it attractive for families.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-07-10. The sold price is $1,865,000.00.
Significant Price-to-Estimation Discrepancy: The current list price is notably higher than the property's estimated value (with a -30% estimation ratio), which may present challenges in buyer perception and appraisal.
Older Home Systems (Implied): Built in 1947, the property description does not explicitly detail updates to major systems such as HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, potentially indicating future maintenance or upgrade requirements.
Absence of Central Cooling: While a fireplace is mentioned, there is no indication of a central cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a comfort concern for potential buyers during warmer periods.
