The flooring appears well-maintained, and the overall impression is move-in ready. While the kitchen's specific condition isn't detailed or pictured, the major system upgrades and the modern bathroom elevate the property's condition beyond 'Fair'.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Outdoor Living & ADU Potential: Boasts a generous, meticulously landscaped multi-tiered backyard with a private jacuzzi, water feature, and a casita, offering significant ADU potential due to R2 zoning.
Prime, Walkable Location: Situated in vibrant Boyle Heights with an 89 walk score, providing easy access to DTLA, the Arts District, diverse dining, cultural spots, and proximity to major universities.
Move-in Ready with Modern Comforts: Recently painted inside and out, equipped with central air and heat, in-home laundry, and a fully remodeled bathroom, ensuring immediate comfort for new owners.
Versatile Basement Space: A stand-up basement with existing electrical, sink, and a half bath provides excellent 'value-add' potential for income, entertainment, or additional living space.
Charming Craftsman Architecture: A delightful Craftsman home featuring a thoughtful open floor plan, built-ins, and ample natural light, retaining classic architectural appeal.

Cons

Significant Overpricing: The listing price of $860,000 is considerably above the estimated market value of $564,928.89, indicating a potential overvaluation compared to current market data.
Compact Interior Space: With 1,092 square feet for three bedrooms, the interior living area is relatively small, which might limit appeal for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: As a 1922-built property, despite recent cosmetic updates, there's a higher likelihood of encountering age-related maintenance issues or requiring future system upgrades.
