Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1922, this property has clearly undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is a standout feature, boasting modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary two-tone cabinetry, and clean white countertops, indicating a recent and high-quality update. Hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and bedrooms are in excellent condition, and the overall aesthetic is fresh and modern. While the visible areas are in excellent shape, the lack of detailed bathroom images and the property's age (1922) suggest that not all underlying systems may be 'virtually new' as required for an 'Excellent' rating. However, it is undoubtedly well-maintained and requires no immediate renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime West Hollywood Location: Nestled in the vibrant heart of West Hollywood, the property boasts exceptional walkability, being just one block from Santa Monica Blvd, a few blocks from Melrose, and within walking distance to the Sunset Strip, offering unparalleled access to entertainment, dining, and shopping.
ADU Conversion Potential: The versatile back house presents a significant value-add opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing potential for additional living space, guest quarters, or a valuable income stream.
Unique Architectural Charm: The home features a distinctive blend of warm, rustic Spanish architecture with sophisticated London design elements, offering unique character and curb appeal that stands out in the market.
Private Outdoor Oasis: The serene Zen backyard, complete with a bubbling jacuzzi, creates a tranquil and private escape perfect for relaxation or hosting memorable gatherings, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.
Lifestyle & Entertainment Access: Beyond its prime location, the property offers a highly desirable lifestyle with immediate access to West Hollywood's dynamic cultural scene, making it ideal for those seeking an urban, walkable living experience.
Cons
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property's size may be a limiting factor for certain buyer demographics, particularly families or those requiring more living and private space.
Age of Property & Potential Updates: Built in 1922, while charming, the home's age suggests potential for necessary updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern efficiency standards and buyer expectations, which could incur additional costs.
Compact Interior Footprint: At 1100 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest for its price point in West Hollywood, which might feel constrained for buyers accustomed to larger homes or seeking more expansive layouts.
