Property is move-in ready.
This 1952 midcentury ranch has been extensively renovated and is in move-in-ready condition. The kitchen features high-end paneled appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry, while the bathrooms are upgraded with luxury features like a steam shower and radiant heat flooring. The presence of oak hardwood floors, vaulted beamed ceilings, and a well-maintained saltwater pool indicates high quality. While the renovation style (dark wood and travertine) suggests it was completed roughly 5 to 15 years ago rather than in the last 5 years, the property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and meets all 'good' criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19240, living area = 2872.
The property features a resort-style backyard with a saltwater pool, cascading spa, and a high-end outdoor kitchen, all situated on an expansive 19,240 sqft lot.
This single-level ranch offers a sophisticated floor plan including two primary suites, vaulted beamed ceilings, and a detached conditioned studio space for maximum versatility.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2872, other record living area = 2645.
At a $3.15M price point, the three-bedroom configuration may be perceived as a low bedroom count for the investment compared to other luxury estates in the area.
Despite its prime hillside neighborhood location, the property does not offer the panoramic canyon or city views often expected by buyers in this specific price bracket.
