This property, though built in 1924, has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations between 2021 and 2022, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an 'Excellent' score. The kitchen is virtually new with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, a stylish herringbone tile backsplash, and all new appliances installed in 2022. The front bathroom was fully updated in 2021 with new tile, hardware, and vanity. The laundry room also features new, energy-efficient appliances and cabinetry from 2021. Other significant updates include earthquake retrofitting, new dual-pane windows, modern landscaping, and fencing. While the primary bathroom was only 'partially updated' and central air conditioning is not explicitly mentioned (a potential drawback in LA), the overall condition, style, and newness of the major components are outstanding, presenting a move-in ready home with minimal physical depreciation.
