Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1940, this property is aged, and the visible interior spaces, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older dark wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and dated white appliances. The bathroom also shows an older vanity, fixtures, and hexagonal floor tiles, along with a dated color scheme. While the property appears functional and maintained, it has not undergone extensive recent renovations, and major components show signs of being outdated, requiring substantial aesthetic and functional updates to meet modern standards. This aligns with the 'Fair' condition criteria, indicating it requires minor updates or repairs, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located just minutes from downtown Los Angeles with quick access to major freeways, offering effortless commuting and city adventures.
Generous Parking Capacity: Features a 2-car garage, carport, and additional driveway space, accommodating up to 6 vehicles, a significant advantage in Los Angeles.
Outdoor Entertainment & Amenities: Boasts a sparkling pool and private patio, complemented by an expansive space with a built-in bar, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Flexible Floor Plan: The two-story layout with two bedrooms and a full bath downstairs, plus two oversized bedrooms and a ¾ bath upstairs, provides versatility for various living arrangements or potential multi-generational living.
Motivated Seller & Price Adjustment: The 'Motivated Seller' status and recent price reduction from $850,000 to $800,000 indicate a strong potential for a competitive offer and negotiation.
Cons
Significantly Undersized Square Footage: The reported 880 sqft for a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-story home is unusually small and likely a data discrepancy, which could be a major deterrent or indicate very compact living spaces.
Age of Property: Built in 1940, the 84-year-old home may require significant updates to its systems, infrastructure, and aesthetics to meet modern standards and buyer expectations.
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimate: The current list price of $800,000 is 14% higher than the estimated property value of $680,673, suggesting it may still be overvalued despite the recent price reduction.
