More Insights

Built in 1936 (90 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1936, this property has undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation, bringing it to current luxury standards. The 'expansive Chef's Kitchen' features an oversized marble island, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and modern white cabinetry, all appearing virtually new. The main bathrooms are 'luxurious designer' spaces with marble counters, a large soaking tub, and glass-enclosed showers. The detached guest house also boasts a fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a beautifully updated bathroom. New flooring, modern lighting, and a fresh, contemporary aesthetic are evident throughout the main house and guest house. While central AC is not mentioned, the overall condition and recent, high-end updates across all key areas justify an 'excellent' rating.

Original Construction Age (1936): Despite updates, the property's original 1936 construction year may imply potential for older infrastructure components or higher long-term maintenance considerations.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for buyers during warmer months in Southern California.
Fragmented Living Spaces: The presence of multiple detached structures (main house, guest house, and separate laundry/office building) might not appeal to all buyers seeking a single, cohesive living environment.
