More Insights
Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1950, this classic ranch home has been maintained but shows significant signs of age and outdated style. While the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, the cabinetry, countertops, and flooring appear to be from an update 15-25 years ago. Both bathrooms are notably dated, with styles (e.g., glass block shower, small square tiles, jetted tub) indicative of renovations 20-30 years ago. The flooring throughout is a mix of older carpet, parquet, and tile. The property is functional and appears well-kept, but requires substantial modernization and updates to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Historical Pedigree: The former home of a prolific Hollywood-era actress, on the market after almost 60 years, adds unique character and a compelling narrative.
Development/Renovation Potential: A classic 1950s California ranch home on a large lot presents an excellent opportunity for significant modernization, expansion, or even redevelopment to maximize its value in a luxury market.
Top-Rated Elementary School: Located near the 'Award-winning Roscomare Rd. Elementary School' with a high rating of 9, a strong draw for families.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2079, other record living area = 1941.
Age and Condition for Modern Standards: Built in 1950 and owned for nearly 60 years, the property likely requires extensive modernization, including updates to interior finishes, systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), and overall design to meet contemporary luxury expectations.
Lack of Views: The property description explicitly states 'None' for views, which can be a significant drawback in the Bel Air market where panoramic views often command a premium.
Underutilization of Lot Size: With 2,079 sqft on an over one-acre lot, the current structure is relatively small for the land, suggesting that the property may not be maximizing its potential value without significant expansion or a complete redevelopment.
