Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Despite being built in 1937, this estate has undergone extensive, architect-designed renovations, particularly in the kitchen and the entire 3,000+ sq. ft. studio/guest house. The kitchen features top-tier Wolf and Miele appliances, modern cabinetry, and high-quality finishes, appearing virtually new. The guest house boasts polished concrete floors, soaring ceilings, and modern amenities. While some bathrooms in the main residence show a slightly more classic or dated tile style, they are impeccably maintained and functional. The overall property, including the reimagined grounds, presents as being in exceptional, move-in ready condition with no deferred maintenance, meeting current luxury standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 81013, living area = 8206.

  • Architectural Pedigree & Historic Charm

    Combines 1937 Classic Mediterranean Estate charm with modern architectural innovation, featuring designs by Peter Gluck for both the main residence's kitchen and the substantial studio/guest house.

  • Exceptional Outdoor Amenities & Landscaping

    Professionally reimagined grounds by Assembly Design and Bertotti Landscaping, including an ozone pool with pool house, lighted tennis court, mature trees, fruit orchards, and vegetable gardens.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Potential for High Maintenance Costs

    As a 1937 estate with extensive grounds, multiple structures, and luxury amenities, the property likely entails significant ongoing maintenance and operational expenses.

  • Limited Buyer Pool due to Price

    The $8.299 million list price positions this as a high-end luxury property, naturally limiting the pool of potential buyers.

  • Unspecified Cooling System

    While enjoying a 'gentle microclimate,' the description does not explicitly mention a central cooling system, which could be a consideration for some buyers in a large estate.
