Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1920, this property is over a century old. While the exterior appears maintained, the listing's own analysis highlights the need for 'significant updates to core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical)' and 'substantial renovation and deferred maintenance costs.' The visible HVAC unit on the roof appears dated. Without interior photos, especially of the kitchen and bathrooms, it's highly probable these areas are original or very outdated, requiring complete overhauls. The property likely requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and ensure functional core systems, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Hollywood area (MLS Area C20, 90038), offering excellent access to amenities and cultural attractions.
Generous Lot Size: The 6,752 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for landscaping or future expansion in an urban setting.
Strong Appreciation History: Historical sales data indicates significant property value growth over recent years, suggesting robust investment potential.
Motivated Seller: The seller's stated urgency to 'make a move' presents a potential opportunity for buyers to negotiate favorable terms.
Competitive Pricing: The current list price of $1.49M aligns with the property's estimated value, indicating it is likely priced competitively in the current market.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1920, the property is over a century old, likely necessitating significant updates to core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and general modernization.
No Premium Views: The property explicitly lacks any notable views, which can be a disadvantage in the Los Angeles market where premium views often add substantial value.
Potential Renovation Costs: Due to its age, prospective buyers should budget for substantial renovation and deferred maintenance costs to bring the property to modern standards.
