More Insights

Built in 2004 (21 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 2004, this property presents as extensively renovated to a very high standard, aligning with current luxury trends. The kitchen features 'top appliances,' 'honed Italian stone countertops,' white shaker cabinetry, and modern lighting, all in pristine condition. The primary bathroom is described as 'sumptuous,' indicating high-end finishes. Throughout the home, the flooring, light fixtures, and custom built-ins (office, lower-level bar) are contemporary and show no signs of wear or outdated styles. The overall impression is of a virtually new interior, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Cons

Listing Price Exceeds Estimated Value: The current list price of $7.5 million is approximately 3% above the property's estimated market value of $7.21 million, which may require justification to potential buyers.
Absence of Explicit Central Cooling System: The property description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for some buyers, especially in a large home in the California climate.
Potential for Dated Systems/Finishes (2004 Build): While well-maintained, a 2004 construction, though relatively modern, may not feature the absolute latest in smart home technology or energy efficiency standards that some luxury buyers might expect from newer builds.
