Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1980, the property features new laminate flooring throughout and presents in move-in ready condition. The interior is well-maintained with cathedral ceilings and modern cosmetic touches. While the kitchen and baths are not explicitly listed as fully renovated, the overall maintenance level and the addition of EV charging stations suggest functional, updated systems.
As a top-floor unit, the property features soaring cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows, and skylights that maximize natural light and create an airy, spacious ambiance not found in lower-level units.
The residence includes highly sought-after modern upgrades such as private in-unit laundry and two dedicated parking spaces equipped with electric vehicle charging, providing significant value and future-proofing.
Ideally situated in Monterey Hills, the property offers a peaceful greenbelt setting while maintaining rapid access to the vibrant corridors of Highland Park, Downtown Los Angeles, and the USC Health Sciences Campus.
The monthly HOA fee of $785 is relatively high for a property at this price point, which may impact buyer affordability and overall monthly carrying costs.
With two bedrooms but only one bathroom, the layout may be a drawback for roommates or small families who typically prioritize a second bathroom for convenience and privacy.
