Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1950, features a recently and extensively renovated kitchen with modern white shaker cabinets, light countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and wood-look flooring. This is a significant positive update. However, the exterior landscaping appears neglected with dry, patchy grass and uneven pavers. Crucially, there are no images or descriptions of the bathrooms or other living areas, nor any mention of updates to major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical). For a home built in 1950, it is highly probable that these systems are either original or have undergone older renovations, and may be functional but outdated or nearing the end of their lifespan. While the kitchen is excellent, the lack of comprehensive updates across the entire property and the neglected exterior maintenance lead to an overall 'Fair' assessment, indicating that while some areas are modern, others likely require minor to substantial updates or repairs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Conversion Potential: The spacious detached two-car garage presents an excellent opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, significantly increasing property value and potential rental income.
Prime Urban Location: Strategically located minutes from DTLA, USC, the Expo Line, and the vibrant West Adams and Mid-City areas, offering unparalleled urban convenience and access to amenities.
Versatile Use Potential: The property has previously operated as a transitional home, suggesting potential for business expansion or unique commercial applications, adding flexibility for diverse buyers.
Ample Parking & Outdoor Space: A large driveway accommodates several cars, a valuable asset in Los Angeles, complemented by a backyard offering generous space for relaxation, gardening, or entertaining.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: Proximity to highly-rated educational institutions like Foshay Learning Center (K-12, Rating 5) and Birdielee V. Bright Elementary (K-5, Rating 4) within a short distance.
Cons
Overpriced Relative to Estimation: The current listing price of $925,000 is approximately 11% above the estimated property value of $817,836.93, which may impact buyer interest and negotiation leverage.
Age of Property: Built in 1950, the home's age suggests potential for outdated systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and may require significant investment in updates or renovations to meet modern standards.
Mixed School Ratings: While some highly-rated schools are nearby, several other local schools have lower ratings (e.g., Audubon Middle, Susan Miller Dorsey High), which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education across all levels.
