Built in 1919, this property is over a century old. While well-maintained and clean, the visible updates, particularly in the main kitchen (light wood cabinets, granite countertops, mixed appliances with an older white refrigerator), appear to be from 15-25 years ago, not a recent renovation. The flooring is a mix of older hardwood and newer, but not high-end, laminate/vinyl. The presence of a baseboard heater in one room suggests a lack of modern central HVAC. The overall aesthetic is functional but dated, requiring minor updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations. The second unit's 'galley kitchen' also implies an older, less updated space.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Hollywood Location: Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, the property offers unparalleled access to the city's vibrant attractions and amenities, making it highly desirable for residents and renters alike.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex with two separate units (3 bed/2 bath main, 1 bed/1 bath second unit), the property provides significant rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Generous Lot Size: The property boasts a very large 10,078 sq ft lot, offering ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for landscaping enhancements or future expansion in a dense urban area.
Architectural Charm & Character: Described as a 'very unique and lovely Mediterranean duplex,' the property possesses distinct architectural style and character, appealing to buyers seeking historical charm.
City Lights View: The property features desirable 'City Lights' views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and market value, particularly from the main unit's view windows.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1919, the property is over a century old, which may necessitate significant investment in updating plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, and general modernization to meet contemporary standards.
Limited Interior Modernization Details: While charming, the description lacks specific details on recent interior renovations or modern amenities, particularly for the main unit, suggesting potential for outdated finishes or a need for cosmetic upgrades. The second unit explicitly mentions a 'galley kitchen'.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a notable price reduction from $1.59M to $1.449M, which could indicate an initial overpricing, extended market time, or potential challenges in attracting offers at a higher valuation.
