Extensive Recent Renovations: The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2020 with new appliances and granite countertops, and bathrooms were fully remodeled in 2022 with marble countertops and high-quality fixtures.

Durable Original Features & Versatile Space: The house retains its original, extremely durable 1937 solid oak wooden flooring, complemented by a detached 300 sqft space ideal for a fitness room or office.

Cons

Unpermitted Master Suite: The master bathroom and closet are noted as unpermitted, which could present challenges with financing, insurance, or future resale.
Age of Property: Built in 1937, despite recent renovations, an older home may still have underlying original systems or components that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Lack of Central Cooling: The property description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant comfort consideration during warmer Southern California months.
