The Newest Listing in the Ivanhoe School District of Silver Lake

2424 W SILVER LAKE DR , LOS ANGELES ,CA 90039 $765,000


Traditional "Time Capsule" gem in the heart of Silver Lake. Factoring in the obvious care that was taken by original owner, it's easy to see how one is only a step or two away from unlocking all the self-evident potential that greets you upon entry. Pristine condition Wedgewood Stove, original Ash wood cabinets, Cork flooring in two bedrooms, and a Poured Linoleum kitchen floor are only a few items that hint at what just an easy touch of vision can bring to this property. Large Kidney shaped pool in back of house, with plenty of green for balance.The ample back yard lends itself to various patio ideas, including a re-furbishing of original Tiki Bar and dressing room area. Every turn of a corner in this U shaped Ranch layout makes it easy to imagine the great comfort that the original family created and the thriving memories that were reveled in thereafter. Great ind/outdr California Living, w/ the combination of lauded school and recreation area, help define this home as truly special.


So often I'm approached by Buyers asking if there are homes in Ivanhoe that aren't totally fixed and updated asking $1M or more? Well here you go? When I was told about this listing I was excited by the price point and location and couldn't wait to see it, so on Tuesday when I went to the Broker's Open I was actually surprised by the over all condition. Considering homes in this part of Ivanhoe district typically go for much more! The house is in need of updates and some real care, the layout of the this U shaped home is great and there's a pool that also needs to be cleaned and probably needs some maintenance. The Kitchen has a nice breakfast room and the tile in the bathes is in good shape. The Patio/Outdoor space could use some attention as well. Mostly deferred maintenance bit if the bones of this house are good then it's worth considering!

The location is ideal and you can walk to Ivanhoe! There's going to be allot of interest so if you would like to see the home please contact me at dansmyrealtor@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936.
