Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1939, has undergone significant renovations as described and shown in the images. The kitchen features high-end Subzero, Miele, and Viking appliances, which are excellent. However, the aesthetic choices in the kitchen (red and dark wood cabinets, dark grey floor tiles) and bathrooms (dark green/grey tiles, vessel sinks, small mounted TV) suggest a renovation that, while high-quality and well-maintained, is likely 10-15 years old rather than 'virtually new' or extensively renovated within the last 5 years by current design standards. The glossy white floor tiles in the main living area also contribute to this slightly dated, though clean, appearance. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, and major systems appear functional, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Warner Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Prime Beverly Hills Location: Situated in lower Benedict Canyon, just blocks from Sunset Blvd and the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, offering a prestigious address and convenient access to amenities.
Gourmet Kitchen & Modern Updates: Features a beautifully updated kitchen equipped with high-end Subzero, Miele, and Viking appliances, reflecting recent updates throughout the home.
Exceptional Entertaining Spaces: Boasts a light and bright open floor plan with high ceilings, a fireplace, double glass windows, and a backyard designed for entertaining with a built-in bar, fountain, and pet-friendly gating.
Luxurious Master Suite & Flexible Space: The master suite offers a large adjacent den/office, a spacious walk-in closet, a steam shower, and an extra-large bath, providing comfort and versatility.
Ample Parking Capacity: Includes an attached garage plus a gated six-car driveway, a significant advantage for parking in the Beverly Hills area.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1939, the property's older foundation, despite recent updates, may raise questions about the condition of original infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Absence of a Pool: For a property marketed as an 'entertainer's dream' in Beverly Hills, the lack of a swimming pool could be a notable omission for many luxury buyers expecting this amenity.
No Explicit Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which is a highly desired amenity for comfort in Southern California's climate, especially in a luxury home.
