Property is move-in ready.
This 1924 English Tudor is in move-in ready condition with significant updates to major systems, including copper plumbing and 220-amp electrical service. The kitchen is updated with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, though the cabinetry style suggests the renovation occurred approximately 10-15 years ago. The primary suite features a modern, high-end bathroom with a spa tub and dual rainfall showers. While the home maintains its historic charm, the overall quality of the finishes and well-maintained systems align with the 'good' criteria.
This 1924 English Tudor blends historic 'storybook' charm with sophisticated modern amenities, featuring coved ceilings, leaded glass windows, and a unique remote-controlled secret wine cellar.
Located in the highly sought-after Sycamore Square, the property boasts exceptional walkability to world-class museums and dining, with significant future appreciation potential from the upcoming Wilshire/LaBrea subway station.
The backyard is a private oasis designed for entertaining, complete with a built-in BBQ, gas firepit, vine-covered pergola, and low-maintenance artificial turf, complemented by a large second-story balcony.
While the neighborhood is prestigious, the most immediate assigned elementary school has a low rating (2/10), which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
The property has been on the market for 55 days and has already undergone a price reduction, suggesting that the initial list price may have exceeded current buyer expectations for the area.
