Condition Rating
Good

This 1924-built property has undergone extensive and thoughtful renovations, making it move-in ready. The main house features updated cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, along with central HVAC, recessed lighting, and oak hardwood floors. The primary bathroom boasts a large shower and dual pedestal sinks, while the guest bath is clean and functional. The detached ADU and flex spaces are particularly well-appointed, with the ADU kitchen featuring modern Ikea cabinetry and Miele appliances, and a flex space bathroom with polished concrete floors, designer tiles, and a rainfall showerhead. While the main house kitchen's cabinet style and some bathroom fixtures lean towards a classic updated look rather than ultra-modern, all components are well-maintained and functional, indicating significant renovations likely within the last 5-15 years. The property does not require immediate major renovations, aligning with the 'Good' criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating ADU & Flex Spaces: The property boasts a 100% vacant, detached 1-bed/1-bath ADU/guest house and two additional flex spaces (one with a full bath and laundry), offering significant potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or dedicated work/hobby areas.
Desirable & Walkable Location: Situated in the 'very walkable' Picfair Village, the home offers a strong neighborhood feel, proximity to local cafes, and convenient access to DTLA, the Westside, Beverly Hills, and LAX, enhancing lifestyle and commute options.
Updated Interiors & Modern Amenities: The main house features an eat-in kitchen with updated cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, along with oak hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and central HVAC, ensuring modern comfort and style.
Thoughtful Outdoor Living Spaces: The property provides excellent outdoor amenities including a covered front porch, a private succulent garden with a Trex deck, and additional space for dining/lounging, all secured behind a tall hedge for privacy.
Versatile Living Arrangements: With a main house, a separate ADU, and multiple flex spaces (including one with a spa-sized shower), the property offers exceptional versatility to adapt to various living needs, from a large family to a live-work setup.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1924, the property, despite updates, is an older home which may present ongoing maintenance considerations typical of historic structures, potentially requiring future investments in infrastructure or repairs.
Highly Specific Aesthetic in ADU/Flex Spaces: The ADU and some flex spaces feature a 'period vibe' with 'dreamy wood-stained trim' and 'vintage tiled' elements. While charming, these specific design choices might not appeal to all potential buyers, possibly limiting broad market appeal or necessitating further aesthetic updates.
Complex Multi-Unit Configuration: The arrangement of a main house, a second-floor ADU, and two flex spaces underneath the ADU creates a somewhat complex layout that, while versatile, might not suit buyers seeking a more traditional or simplified single-family home experience.
