Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1948, this property has undergone a significant and recent renovation, evident in the modern kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and contemporary fixtures. The interior features updated hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and a clean, modern aesthetic throughout the living areas and bedrooms. The overall condition appears move-in ready with quality finishes. However, the property lacks central air conditioning, which is a significant functional drawback for a home in Los Angeles, preventing it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating. No bathroom images were provided for assessment.

Cons

Older Construction (1948): Despite recent remodels, the 1948 build year may suggest potential for older underlying infrastructure or systems not explicitly updated, which could lead to future maintenance considerations.
Modest Square Footage: At 1468 sqft, the interior living space might be considered modest for a 3-bedroom home in this price range and desirable location, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive residences.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights a wood-burning fireplace but makes no mention of a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during Los Angeles's warmer months.
