Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1938, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The interior, particularly the visible kitchen nook and bedrooms, features heavily worn hardwood floors, dirty and marked walls, and very outdated fixtures and cabinetry. There is no evidence of recent renovations, and the overall condition suggests that substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required throughout the home, including major updates to the kitchen and likely the bathroom (which is not pictured but can be inferred to be in similar condition). The property is far from move-in ready and would be uncomfortable to live in without extensive work.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in a fantastic and desirable Los Angeles neighborhood (Park Hills Heights), offering strong market appeal and potential for appreciation.
Distinctive Spanish Architecture: Features a charming Spanish architectural style, providing unique character and curb appeal that stands out.
Versatile Floor Plan: Includes 2 bedrooms plus a den, offering flexible living arrangements and the potential for a third bedroom or dedicated home office.
Spacious Backyard Oasis: Boasts a spacious backyard with mature landscaping and fruit trees, creating a private and relaxing outdoor retreat.
Strong Curb Appeal: Enhanced by a welcoming front porch and mature landscaping, contributing to an inviting first impression.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one full bathroom, which may be a constraint for larger households or those desiring more facilities.
Compact Interior Square Footage: At 1047 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a single-family home, potentially limiting spaciousness for some buyers.
Potential for System Updates: Built in 1938, the home may require updates to its older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and reduce future maintenance.
