Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1966, this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The bathrooms are significantly outdated, featuring styles and fixtures from several decades ago (small square tiles, old vanities, dated lighting), indicating no major renovations in the last 30-50 years. The description itself implies an unfinished state, stating 'Finish your dream home' and 'increasingly home,' which aligns with the need for extensive updates. The absence of kitchen photos, coupled with the dated bathrooms, suggests the kitchen is also likely in need of a complete overhaul. While the property has architectural significance, its current interior condition necessitates a major investment to meet modern standards.

Architectural Pedigree: The property is the actual 'HILLDALE HOUSE', built in 1965, photographed by Neutra photographer Jules Schulman, and featured in Architectural Digest, offering significant historical and design value.
Exceptional Views: Boasts expansive 180-degree views of the city and ocean, a highly sought-after premium feature in the West Hollywood market.

Cons

Significant Overpricing: The current listing price of $3.298M is approximately 30% higher than the estimated property value of $2.284M, which may deter potential buyers and complicate financing.
Requires Substantial Investment/Unfinished State: The description implies the home is not fully completed ('increasingly home,' 'finish your dream home'), indicating a need for significant additional investment for renovations and a custom pool.
Inconsistent Property Data: There is a notable discrepancy between the MLS data (5 beds, 4 baths, 2979 sqft) and the detailed description (7 beds, 5.5 baths, 3800 sqft + 1 bed, 1 bath, 750 sqft ADU), which can create confusion and raise questions for prospective buyers.
