Built in 1948, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets and patterned tile flooring, though some appliances (refrigerator, cooktop/oven) and the backsplash/countertops appear to be more recent updates. The same dated tile flooring extends throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. While functional, the overall aesthetic and key components like the kitchen cabinets and flooring are outdated and would require significant cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations. No images of the bathroom were provided, which is a critical omission for a full assessment, but based on the rest of the interior, it's likely to also require updates. The presence of mini-split AC units indicates some system upgrades. The property is livable but requires minor updates to modernize.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: Situated in Los Angeles, specifically the popular Highland Park area (MLS Area 632), known for its vibrant community and appreciating values.
Single Family Residence: Offers the benefits of privacy, land ownership, and potential for future expansion or customization, which is highly valued in urban markets.
Recent Price Adjustments: Multiple price reductions from $895,000 to $829,000 indicate increased seller motivation and present a more competitive entry point for buyers.
Lot Size Potential: A 3,648 sqft lot for a 720 sqft home provides ample outdoor space or potential for future expansion, subject to local zoning and permits.
Investment Opportunity: Given the desirable location and recent price adjustments, this property could appeal to investors or owner-occupants looking to add value through renovation.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1948, the home is over 75 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems, deferred maintenance, and a need for significant modernization.
Limited Living Space: At 720 sqft with 2 beds and 1 bath, the property offers relatively small living quarters, which may not suit all buyer needs, especially families.
Lack of Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a disadvantage in a market where desirable views often add significant value.
