City Terrace
This week kicks off with a diamond in the very rough. The Spanish-style with a tower could be restored to its 1920 glory, but it will take a brave buyer. The listing notes to “enter at your own risk,” due to cracks, collapsed stairs, and uneven floors. A visionary bold enough to tackle the project will likely see the potential in the 2,634-square-foot residence’s size and its former charm, including a curvaceous breakfast nook, living room with a barrel ceiling and picture window with sweeping views, and wrought iron detailing on the exterior. In all, it holds four bedrooms and two baths across two levels on a 5,708-square-foot lot. It’s accepting back-up offers at $499,000.

Downtown
Here’s a pad that’s already well-polished. The move-in ready condo has one bedroom and one bathroom in 700 square feet.

The unit also has central heat and air, in-unit washer and dryer, and one parking space. Counted among the building amenities are a 24/7 doorman, gym, and courtyard. Located at Sixth and Hope streets, the asking price has been reduced to $488,000. HOA dues will set you back $608 per month.

San Pedro
Here’s another fixer. The turn-of-the-century residence is nearly 120 years old and has Craftsman and Victorian-style influences. It still has its original hardwood floors, along with period built-ins and moldings. Coming in at 1,710 square feet, it contains one bedroom and two bathrooms, but there’s an attic that could be used as living space as well. With a front porch and curb appeal, it sits on a 4,500-square-foot lot with R2 zoning. It’s listed at $480,000.

Vermont Knolls
In South LA, on a street populated with pretty Spanish-style homes, this three-bedroom dwelling has a slightly more modern look on the exterior.

The 1,427-square-foot home is positioned on a lot measuring 4,078 square feet; it also holds a detached two-car garage. The asking price is $490,000.
