Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1920, this property is over 100 years old. The listing description emphasizes 'creating your dream home' and 'building for investment,' strongly indicating that the property requires substantial renovation and rehabilitation. The absence of any interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathroom, suggests these critical areas are significantly outdated and likely in poor condition, requiring full replacement. The exterior also shows signs of age and wear, consistent with a property needing major updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Brentwood Location & Accessibility: Highly desirable Westside neighborhood with excellent access to high-end boutiques, cafes, restaurants, major employment centers (UCLA, Century City), Sawtelle's dining scene, and the 405 freeway.
Significant Development Potential (R4 Zoning): The R4 zoning offers substantial opportunities for expansion, multi-unit development, or creating a custom dream home, maximizing land use in a coveted area.
ADU & Income Generation Capability: The detached garage can be converted into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing a lucrative two-unit setup for rental income or flexible living arrangements.
Strategic Price Point: Marketed as the 'least expensive SFR in coveted Brentwood,' this property presents a unique and accessible entry opportunity into a premium real estate market.
Strong School District Access: Located near several highly-rated public schools, including University Senior High School Charter within walking distance, enhancing its appeal for families.
Cons
Compact Living Space: The current 2-bed, 1-bath, 895 sqft layout is relatively small, which may limit its appeal for buyers seeking more spacious living or a larger family home.
Age of Property & Renovation Needs: Built in 1920, the home likely requires extensive modernization, renovation, or a complete redevelopment to meet contemporary standards and maximize its potential.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property does not offer any notable scenic views, which can be a disadvantage in a premium Los Angeles neighborhood where views often command a significant premium.
