Condition Rating
Fair
This 1912 Craftsman home, while described as 'well-cared for' and 'move-in ready,' clearly requires significant cosmetic updates to meet modern standards. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and tiled flooring, suggesting a renovation from 20-40 years ago. Bathrooms exhibit a similar outdated style with white square tiles, basic vanities, and older fixtures. Other areas show a mix of laminate, patterned linoleum, and tile flooring, along with outdated light fixtures (e.g., fluorescent in living room). While functional, major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely original or very old, as indicated by the property analysis suggesting 'Potential for Systemic Upgrades.' The property is aged but maintained, with functional components that are visibly outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Development & Income Potential: LARD2 zoning allows for additional units, and the oversized two-car garage offers ADU conversion possibilities, significantly enhancing property value and income potential.
Historic Craftsman Charm: A 1912 classic Craftsman home featuring original architectural details like a deep covered front porch, built-ins, and a stone fireplace, appealing to buyers seeking character.
Prime Mid-City Location: Centrally located in Mid City, offering excellent accessibility to various parts of Los Angeles and close proximity to popular local amenities, all on a quiet street with no through traffic.
Spacious & Flexible Layout: With 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an additional bonus room, the property provides ample space and flexibility for diverse living arrangements or home office needs.
Value-Add Equity Opportunity: Presents a clear opportunity for a buyer to invest in cosmetic updates and personalization, thereby building significant instant equity in a well-cared-for classic home.

Cons

Requires Cosmetic Renovation: The property explicitly needs 'cosmetic artistry' and a buyer's 'vision,' indicating that significant aesthetic updates are required to meet modern tastes and maximize its potential.
Potential for Systemic Upgrades: As a 1912 build, the property may have original or outdated major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require substantial investment for modernization and efficiency.
Recent Price Reductions: The listing has undergone two price reductions from its initial $1.099M to $999,000, which could suggest an initial overpricing or a slower market response than anticipated.
