Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1950, benefits from recent and significant cosmetic updates, including 'remodeled bathrooms and kitchen' and 'brand new carpets,' as stated in the description and evidenced by the modern bathroom vanity and shower in the images. This makes the home move-in ready with no immediate renovation required for key areas. However, despite these updates, the underlying infrastructure of a 1950-built home likely retains older components (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) that are not explicitly mentioned as being fully replaced or updated. Therefore, while the visible and high-impact areas are in excellent condition, the property has not undergone a full, comprehensive renovation of all major systems to qualify as 'Excellent' for its age.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Convenience: Situated in a highly desirable area of Lakewood, offering walking distance to numerous popular restaurants and close proximity to both Lakewood and Cerritos Malls.
Key Interior Renovations: Recently updated bathrooms and kitchen, along with brand new carpets in bedrooms, den, and family room, provide a modern and move-in ready interior.
ADU Conversion Opportunity: Features a large den with significant potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering future income potential or expanded living space.
Mature & Productive Landscaping: The property boasts an enclosed courtyard and backyard with a variety of mature fruit trees (avocado, fig, lemon, orange), enhancing curb appeal and providing a unique amenity.
Access to Rated Schools: Located within proximity to several public schools, including highly-rated elementary and middle schools, appealing to families.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1950, the home's underlying infrastructure is over 70 years old, which may necessitate future maintenance or upgrades not covered by recent cosmetic renovations.
Aggressive Price Increase: The current list price of $890,000 represents a substantial increase from its May 2024 sale price of $650,000, potentially raising questions about market value justification or appraisal challenges.
Misleading Bedroom Count: The description notes the 'fourth bedroom is actually a family room,' which could lead to buyer confusion or disappointment regarding the actual number of private bedrooms.
