Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1956, this property is significantly dated. The kitchen is a prime example, featuring very old built-in appliances, dark wood cabinets, and laminate countertops that are well past their prime and require a full renovation. While some rooms have hardwood floors, they show considerable wear, and other flooring is also outdated. The overall aesthetic is from an older era, and the property's age suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely at or beyond their expected lifespan, necessitating substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: Situated in Los Angeles, specifically the Park Hills Heights area, offering access to urban amenities and a well-established neighborhood.
Generous Lot Size: A 5952 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space for potential landscaping, expansion, or recreational use, which is valuable in a dense urban environment.
Strong School Access: Proximity to highly-rated educational institutions, including Foshay Learning Center (rated 5), enhances family appeal and long-term value.
Functional Layout: With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1732 sqft, the property offers a practical and comfortable living space suitable for various household sizes.
Single-Family Residence: As a standalone home, it offers privacy and independence, a highly sought-after property type in the Los Angeles market.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1956, the home may require significant updates to systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and aesthetics to meet modern standards, potentially incurring substantial renovation costs.
Lack of Desirable Views: The property detail explicitly states 'View: None,' which could be a drawback in a market where desirable views often command a premium.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $950,000 is above the estimated property value of $906,115.02, suggesting it may be priced aggressively relative to market comparables or require strong justification.
