Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1912, this property is explicitly described as a 'cosmetic-fixer,' indicating substantial rehabilitation is required. The kitchen, though 'remodeled many years ago,' features severely outdated ceramic tile countertops, old Tappen double ovens, a dated cooktop, and old linoleum flooring, all of which require a full renovation. The first-floor bathroom is 'original,' meaning it is over 100 years old and in dire need of complete modernization. While the property has 'good bones' and an updated electrical panel, the interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and original bathroom, are functionally and aesthetically very uncomfortable and require significant investment to meet current living standards. The presence of dated, worn carpet over hardwood floors also points to substantial cosmetic work needed.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Historic Charm & Architecture: A well-preserved 1912 California Craftsman with original details such as coffered ceilings, wainscoting, Palos Verdes stone, and wide wood trim, offering unique character and historical appeal.
Exceptional Space & Layout: One of the largest homes in the neighborhood, featuring four bedrooms, a spacious primary suite with multiple closets and en suite, a family room with a wet bar, and ample storage including an attic with standing room.
Functional Upgrades & Amenities: Includes an updated electrical panel, a remodeled kitchen (though dated), indoor laundry, a 2-car detached garage with remote opener, and a large driveway accommodating several cars.
Desirable Location: Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street adjacent to the desirable Leimert Park and Jefferson Park neighborhoods.
Strong Foundation & Potential: Described as having 'good bones' and being a 'cosmetic-fixer,' indicating solid structural integrity with significant potential for personalization and value appreciation, especially with the recent price improvement.

Cons

Cosmetic Fixer Status: Explicitly stated as a 'cosmetic-fixer,' implying that buyers should anticipate additional investment for aesthetic updates and personalization to bring it to modern standards.
Dated Kitchen Remodel: While the kitchen was remodeled, the description notes it was 'many years ago,' suggesting it may not meet current modern design standards and could benefit from further updating.
Hidden Hardwood Floors: Hardwood floors are present 'under some carpet,' meaning buyers will incur costs and effort to remove the carpet and potentially refinish the original flooring to fully appreciate this feature.
