Fair
The property was built in 1920, making it over 100 years old. While the exterior images show a well-maintained facade with what appears to be a newer roof and fresh paint, there are no interior images provided. Without visual confirmation of the kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, flooring, or HVAC systems, it's impossible to assess their condition, style, or features. Given its age, it's highly probable that the interior components are outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current standards, even if functional. The exterior suggests regular upkeep, but the lack of interior information prevents a higher score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Hancock Park-Wilshire area (90005), known for its historic charm, tree-lined streets, and central access to Los Angeles amenities.
Spacious Layout: Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 1960 sqft, providing ample living space suitable for families or those needing extra rooms.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 7517 sqft lot provides valuable outdoor space, potential for landscaping, or future expansion (subject to zoning).
Classic Architecture/Historic Appeal: Built in 1920, the property likely boasts period details and architectural character, appealing to those who appreciate historic homes.
Single-Family Residence: Provides privacy, independence, and typically more outdoor space compared to attached housing options in a dense urban environment.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance/Upgrades: Built in 1920, the property is over a century old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and the need for significant maintenance or modernization to meet contemporary standards.
Lack of Desirable Views: The 'view: None' indicates the absence of scenic or city views, which can be a significant value-add in the Los Angeles market.
Unspecified Condition/Modernization: The listing does not specify any recent renovations or modern upgrades, implying that the interior might be in its original or dated condition, potentially requiring substantial investment for cosmetic or functional improvements.
