Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating ADU: The property includes a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU, offering significant income potential or flexible living arrangements for guests or multi-generational families.
Historic Charm with Modern Updates: A 'beautifully rebuilt Craftsman home' that successfully blends its original historic charm with contemporary finishes, appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Desirable Leimert Park Location: Situated in the heart of historic Leimert Park, providing excellent proximity to USC, Culver City, and the revitalized West Adams area, indicating strong lifestyle and appreciation potential.
Buyer Financial Incentive: A $20,000 buyer credit is available, which can be used to buy down the interest rate or cover closing costs, making the purchase more attractive and affordable.
Versatile Property Use: The configuration allows for flexible use as either a single-family residence or an income-producing duplex, maximizing its utility and investment appeal.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-08-28. The sold price is $1,250,000.00.
Significant Overvaluation: The property's estimated value is substantially lower than the current listing price (estimation ratio -42%), suggesting a potential overvaluation that could deter buyers or lead to appraisal issues.
Aggressive Pricing Compared to Market Comps: Despite recent renovations and an ADU, the $1.55M list price is notably higher than recent sales of comparable properties in the area, indicating it may be priced above current market expectations.
Indication of Selling Difficulty: The 'Seller Motivated' note and the previous price reduction from $1.65M to $1.55M suggest the property has faced challenges attracting offers at its initial price point, potentially signaling further negotiation room or perceived overpricing.
