Built in 1949, this property is aged, but the kitchen and bathroom have received recent cosmetic updates with modern finishes like shaker cabinets, granite counters, and mosaic tile, making them appear move-in ready. However, the overall structure and major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) are likely original or very old, and the cooling system is a wall-mounted AC unit, indicating outdated infrastructure. The presence of a 'garage converted to room' and a 'detached bonus room' also raises concerns about potential non-permitted spaces. While cosmetically updated in key areas, the property's age and underlying systems suggest it requires more than minor updates to meet modern standards and address potential structural/permit issues.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strategic Location: The property boasts a convenient location near major freeways, schools, and shopping centers, offering excellent accessibility and amenities for residents.
Flexible Living Spaces: The inclusion of a garage-converted room and a detached bonus room significantly enhances the property's utility, providing versatile spaces beyond the main structure for various uses like an office, guest room, or creative studio.
Upgraded Interiors: The kitchen and bathroom have been upgraded with granite counters, offering modern aesthetics and functionality, which reduces immediate renovation needs for a new owner.
Competitive Price Point: Listed at $449,900 in Los Angeles, this property presents a relatively accessible entry point into the competitive LA real estate market, especially for a single-family residence with additional usable space.
Gated Parking: A gated front yard with space for one car provides secure, off-street parking, a valuable amenity in an urban setting like Los Angeles.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
Limited Official Square Footage: The main house has a very compact official living area of 515 sqft, which may be a significant drawback for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations, despite the presence of bonus rooms.
Potential Non-Permitted Spaces: The description mentions a 'garage converted to room' and a 'detached bonus room.' These additions may not be permitted, potentially leading to legal, insurance, or financing challenges for a buyer.
Age of Property & Systems: Built in 1949, the property is over 70 years old. While some areas are upgraded, core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future significant investment.
