Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1991, making it 33 years old. While the unit appears clean and well-maintained with updated laminate flooring in the living areas, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen features white tiled countertops, older white appliances, and dated white square tile flooring. The bathrooms similarly present with tiled countertops, basic vanities, and tiled shower surrounds, all indicative of a style from the property's original construction or a very early renovation. These areas are functional but require substantial cosmetic updates to align with modern aesthetics, placing the property in the 'Fair' condition category.

Comprehensive Building Amenities: The building provides desirable HOA amenities including a dry sauna, fitness center, racquetball court, and a rooftop spa, enhancing resident lifestyle and value.
Convenient & Secure Parking: Features a gated parking garage with two assigned spaces and additional guest parking, a significant advantage in a dense urban area like Los Angeles.

Cons
Lack of Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic outlooks from their home.
Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $450.0 per month is a recurring cost that could impact affordability and long-term ownership expenses for some buyers.
