Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1929 and on the market for the first time in over 50 years, this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features extremely outdated appliances and cabinetry, and the bathroom has vintage (likely original) tiles and fixtures. The description explicitly states 'extensive renovation required' and highlights 'older systems & infrastructure' as a weakness, indicating major components will need significant repair or replacement to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Westside Location: Situated in the highly desirable Westwood/Century City area, offering convenient access to major employment centers, amenities, and a quiet residential feel with no Olympic noise.
Classic Architectural Charm: Retains its authentic 1929 Spanish-style charm with original details such as hardwood floors, a barrel ceiling, and a fireplace, appealing to buyers seeking character.
Significant Value-Add Potential: The private yard and detached garage offer excellent flexibility, ideal for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), home office, or playroom, enhancing property value and utility.
Renovation Opportunity: On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this property presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to customize and modernize to their personal taste, unlocking substantial equity.
Top-Rated School Access: Located within the highly-regarded Westwood Charter Elementary School district, a significant draw for families seeking excellent educational opportunities.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property explicitly states it needs restoration and imagination, indicating a significant investment in time and capital for updates to meet modern standards and preferences.
Older Systems & Infrastructure: Built in 1929, the home likely features original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require costly upgrades or replacement in the near future, adding to renovation expenses.
Potential Overpricing Relative to Current Condition: The listing price is 11% above the estimated property value, suggesting it may be priced for its future potential rather than its current 'as-is' state, which could deter some buyers.
