Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1957, this property features a highly dated kitchen with tile countertops, older cabinets, and a very outdated bathroom with tile vanity and a pink sink, suggesting these areas have not been significantly renovated in 30-50+ years. While the living areas have well-maintained hardwood floors and the primary suite boasts new wood flooring, the critical kitchen and bathroom areas require substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and appeal, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Exceptional Location: Proximity to Griffith Park, the LA Zoo, major film and television studios, charming neighborhood cafes, and major freeways offers unparalleled convenience and lifestyle benefits.
Customization Opportunity: The well-flowing floor plan is ideal for buyers looking to personalize and update the interior to their specific taste and style.
Abundant Natural Light: Large sliding glass doors in the generous living area ensure ample natural light throughout the day, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Private Outdoor Space & Primary Suite: Features a private front patio for relaxation and a primary suite with its own bathroom and new wood flooring, enhancing comfort and privacy.
Valuable Community Amenities: Includes dedicated parking, a private laundry area, and well-maintained landscaped common areas, adding practical value and convenience.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Fee: The association fee of $497.86 is substantial for an 883 sqft condo, significantly impacting monthly ownership costs.
Dated Condition & Renovation Needs: Built in 1957 and described as 'well-loved' and 'perfect for updating,' indicating that significant renovations beyond the primary bedroom's flooring are likely needed to modernize the unit.
