Strategic Location: Offers 'Convenient access to major transportation routes, shopping, and nearby amenities,' a key advantage for urban living in Los Angeles.
Functional Layout with Unique Features: Despite its age, the home features a 'functional floor plan' including a 'butler’s pantry' and a 'separate laundry room,' providing practical living spaces.
Cons
Age and Condition (Project Home): Built in 1925 and described as a 'project,' the property likely requires substantial renovation, modernization, and potential system upgrades, incurring significant additional costs for the buyer.
Limited Living Space & Bathroom Count: With only 924 sq ft and one bathroom for two bedrooms, the home offers limited interior space and convenience, which may not suit all buyer needs or modern family configurations.
