Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location: Ideally located on the cusp of Brentwood in the heart of West LA, Brentwood and Santa Monica adjacent with easy access to major freeways, offering convenience and high desirability.
Extensive Interior Upgrades & Maintenance: Beautifully maintained with an updated kitchen, renovated primary bathroom, and upgraded HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate expenses.
Spacious & Functional Layout: Over 1,700 sq ft of single-level, light-filled living space with a fantastic layout for entertaining, including a formal dining area and a large balcony.
Luxury & Privacy Features: Private elevator access directly into the unit, a grand double-door entryway, and only one common wall, enhancing privacy and a sense of exclusivity.
Valuable Condo Amenities: Includes in-unit laundry, two secured parking spaces with extra storage, and controlled building/elevator access, providing convenience and security.

Cons

Building Age & Potential for Future Assessments: Built in 1981, the building is over 40 years old, which, despite unit upgrades, could lead to potential future special assessments for common area maintenance or major building system replacements.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The $500 monthly association fee is a notable recurring expense that adds to the overall cost of ownership and may be considered high by some buyers.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: The property offers only a tiled balcony for outdoor space, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a private yard or larger outdoor living area.
