3-Bedroom Designer Inspired Vintage Gem with W/D in Buena Park for $549,900: 705 W. Buena Ave.
This corner 3-bedroom at 705 W. Buena Avenue in the Buena Park neighborhood of Uptown came on the market in May 2025. Sorry, I don’t have a picture of this building but I wanted to crib about it.
This building was constructed in 1919 and has 10 units. There’s no parking.
The units share a patio and there is basement storage.
The listing says there is “charm and character.”
The unit has some of its vintage features including hardwood floors throughout, an entry foyer, with a marble floor, a wood burning fireplace in the living room, and a separate formal dining room.
It also has a sunroom with plantation shutters which the listing says could be used as a home office, reading nook or den.
The large primary bedroom has a walk-in cedar closet and an en suite bedroom with a double vanity.
The listing says that the third bedroom has been “recently renovated” with a new roof, ceiling, drywall, and laminate flooring.
It has an updated kitchen with dark wood 42″ cabinets, Corian countertops, and new LG stainless steel appliances (2024).
There’s also a separate, windowless “room” which could be used as a flex space.
This unit has washer/dryer in the unit, but there’s no central air or parking. It has window units for cooling.
This building is near Montrose Beach, the golf course, public transportation and the shops and restaurants of Buena Park and north Lakeview.
Listed in May 2025 for $549,900, that’s $119,900 above the 2021 sales price of $430,000.

“Will this seller get the full price?”
I’d say “maybe” if there is someone out there who thinks that 100% of the (realtively minor) changes the seller made are 100% perfect for them.
More realistically, I’d say $525-530 gets it done.
