More Insights

Built in 1966 (59 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1966, benefits significantly from a recently remodeled kitchen featuring premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, and modern finishes, which are in excellent condition. The powder room also appears updated and modern. However, the full bathroom (as seen in image 7) has an outdated tile countertop, older light fixtures, and shower trim, suggesting a renovation from 15-30 years ago rather than a recent one. While the home is described as well-maintained with other updates like wood/stone tile flooring and automated blinds, the dated full bathroom prevents it from being classified as 'Excellent'. The property is move-in ready, and the major kitchen renovation elevates it beyond 'Fair', fitting the 'Good' category where some components are updated but it hasn't undergone a full recent renovation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Premium Location & Scenic Views: Situated South of the Boulevard on a quiet street in a highly sought-after Encino Hills neighborhood, offering scenic views of the Valley and a peaceful retreat.
Recently Remodeled Kitchen: The open kitchen has been recently remodeled with custom maple cabinetry, premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and modern finishes, ideal for entertaining.
Expansive & Usable Lot: Features a large 20,468 sqft private yard, beautifully landscaped with artificial turf, mature fruit trees, and ample space with room to add a pool.
Updated Interior Amenities: The bright and spacious layout includes desirable features such as wood and stone tile flooring, plantation shutters, automated blinds, and soaring ceilings.
Strong Curb Appeal & Maintenance: A manicured front yard and overall well-maintained condition contribute to excellent curb appeal, reflecting a cared-for home.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Unseen Updates: Built in 1966, while some areas are remodeled, the underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require significant updates not explicitly mentioned, which could lead to future costs.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a significant price reduction from $1.575M to $1.399M, which could signal an initial overpricing or a struggle to attract buyers at the previous price point, potentially raising questions about its current market value.
Moderate Interior Square Footage for Lot Size: At 2,030 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest compared to the expansive 20,468 sqft lot, which might not appeal to buyers seeking a larger home footprint commensurate with the land size and price point.
