MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1705, other record living area = 1193. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
High Price Per Square Foot: The list price of $1,999,000 for 1705 sqft translates to a very high price per square foot, potentially impacting affordability and perceived value for some buyers.
No Specific View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which could be a significant detractor for buyers seeking scenic vistas or a premium view in a desirable Los Angeles location.
