Bring your hammer and paintbrush! This 1000+ sq ft 1 bedroom + 1.5 Bath unit is in need of a major facelift. Largely untouched for 40+ years, the unit has a good floorplan and generously-sized rooms. There is a formal entry and entry closet, large living room with a wall of glass looking south onto a green area with mature trees. The unit is one full story above ground level. The building was built as a condominium community so the kitchen is large with an eat-in area. The unit was originally plumbed for laundry equipment but the connections might need some attention as they haven't been used in a long while. Potential buyers are invited to look into this to their satisfaction. (There is also common area laundry). The kitchen has a second door for deliveries and trash removal. There is a 1/2 bath off the living room and the primary bedroom is down a short hallway. The bedroom also has a wall of glass as well as 2 closets -- a standard double and a walk-in. The primary bath has a separate tiled shower and bathtub and has been modernized. The building runs off a central air conditioning system run by the HOA and requiring a component within each unit in order to run. Agent and seller do not know the condition of the AC or heating and encourage potential buyers to test these to their satisfaction. The unit includes one secured parking space in the subterranean parking area which also includes visitor parking. There is a swimming pool in the central courtyard which is heated, typically, between May and Sep. The building is located on popular Kings Road in Central West Hollywood, within walking distance to the Gelson's Supermarket and local restaurants and shops. There is bus service on nearby Santa Monica Bl, that connects West Hollywood to much of Los Angeles with stops in Hollywood, Silverlake, Echo Park and downtown L.A., to the east, and Beverly Hills, West L.A. and Santa Monica to the west. West Hollywood is its own city with its own police and fire departments. West Hollywood City Hall is 1-1/2 blocks from the property. There is lots of shopping and nightlife nearby including the Sunset Strip area of West Hollywood and the Beverly Grove shopping/dining district in nearby Los Angeles. The property is a probate and short-sale so it MIGHT require court approval (we're hoping not) and approval of the existing mortgage lender. Showings are by appointment. (Agent lives in the building). Interior pics to follow. Please be patient.
