About this home

We found 3 Cons,7 Pros. Rank: price - $850.3K(50th), sqft - 1292(28th), beds - 2(26th), baths - 1(22th).

Now arriving on the market for the first time in over 30 years, this 1923 vintage bungalow is brimming with charm and character. Perched on a gentle knoll along a wide, tree-lined street in the heart of Park Hills Heights, the home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with a perfect blend of original soul and thoughtful upgrades. Freshly painted inside, the home features two generously sized bedrooms that flank an oversized vintage bathroom, complete with charming built-ins and a storage bench. Each room is bathed in gorgeous natural light, highlighting the retro kitchen with an adorable eat-in dining nook and a separate laundry room just off the kitchen leading to the backyard. Major system improvements include a bolted foundation, central air (new in 2023) and heat, new 200-amp panel (2023), new copper plumbing, solar array, engineered flooring, and a beautifully manicured, flat backyard with endless possibilities - whether it's gardening, adding a pool, or building an ADU. The home captures a lovely westside cross-breeze and sits just moments from all of the exciting growth and energy along Crenshaw. Enjoy visiting local hotspots including Somerville, Harold & Belle's, Woody's Bar-B-Q, Gwen's Specialty Cakes, Flavor Table, Earle's on Crenshaw, and Pepper's Jamaican Belizean Cuisine. Offering tremendous upside potential, this is a true opportunity not to be missed. Best of all, it qualifies for the Dream Home Program via Insignia Mortgage: 30-year fixed, no points, no PMI, with as little as 0% down to $750K and 10% down up to $1M - an unbeatable 5.925% interest rate.

Condition Rating
Good
This 1923 bungalow is in good condition, offering a blend of vintage charm and significant modern upgrades. While the kitchen is described as 'retro' and the bathroom as 'vintage' (and images confirm their older aesthetic with features like older cabinetry, laminate/tile countertops, and a pedestal sink), both appear clean, functional, and well-maintained, not requiring immediate renovation. Crucially, the property boasts extensive recent system improvements, including new central air and heat (2023), a new 200-amp electrical panel (2023), new copper plumbing, a bolted foundation, and a solar array. Engineered flooring throughout and fresh paint also contribute to its move-in ready state. These major system updates provide excellent peace of mind and significantly enhance the property's overall quality, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category, despite the non-modern kitchen and bathroom styles.

Prime Location & Neighborhood Appeal: Situated on a gentle knoll along a wide, tree-lined street in the heart of Park Hills Heights, benefiting from a westside cross-breeze, proximity to vibrant Crenshaw growth, local hotspots, and offering city lights views.

Cons

Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property may not meet the needs of larger families or those seeking more living space and amenities, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
Dated Kitchen Aesthetic: The description mentions a 'retro kitchen,' which, while charming to some, may be perceived as dated by others and could necessitate a future renovation to meet modern aesthetic and functional preferences.
Mixed School Performance: Several nearby public schools have lower ratings (e.g., 1s and 2s), which could be a significant deterrent for families prioritizing highly-rated educational institutions and potentially impact long-term appreciation for that demographic.
