More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: Built in 1985, this property is 39 years old and, as explicitly stated in the listing, requires a 'designer's vision' and 'significant updates' to align with contemporary luxury standards. While the home appears well-maintained with functional systems like the elevator, the kitchen features dated cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and a mix of older and newer appliances. The bathrooms are also significantly outdated with older tile work, basic vanities, and fixtures. Flooring includes well-kept hardwood but also dated green and beige carpets. Overall, the property is functional and habitable but shows clear signs of being outdated and needs substantial cosmetic and functional modernization, particularly in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current market expectations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Warner Avenue Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Prime Location & Natural Surroundings: Nestled in the desirable Beverly Hills Post Office (BHPO) area, this property offers a quiet street, immediate access to serene hiking trails and lush parks (Franklin Canyon, Coldwater Canyon), and is minutes from world-class shopping and dining on Sunset Blvd.
Spacious Multi-Level Layout with Elevator: Boasting almost 4,400 sq ft spread across three levels, the home provides ample living space, enhanced by a well-maintained elevator for seamless accessibility and convenience.
Abundant Natural Light and Scenic Views: The residence is flooded with natural sunlight from numerous windows, offering picturesque canyon and Santa Monica mountain views from multiple rooms, including the primary suite.
Upscale Interior Features: Key interior amenities include a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a gourmet eat-in kitchen, high ceilings, a fireplace, a wet bar, and a luxurious primary bath with a spa tub and walk-in shower.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Described as an 'exceptional opportunity for a designer's vision,' the property offers substantial potential for personalization and value appreciation in a prime location, further bolstered by its inclusion in the highly-rated Warner Avenue School District.

Cons

Requires Modernization/Designer Vision: Built in 1985, the property explicitly calls for a 'designer's vision,' indicating that significant updates and personalization may be necessary to align with contemporary luxury standards and maximize its market appeal.
Multi-Level 'Townhouse Style' Configuration: The 'townhouse style living' across three levels, despite having an elevator, might not suit all buyers who prefer a more traditional single-family home layout or extensive ground-level living.
Limited Explicit Outdoor Entertainment Space: While a 'private yard' is mentioned for the primary suite, the description does not emphasize expansive outdoor entertaining areas, a large garden, or a pool, which could be a consideration for buyers seeking comprehensive outdoor amenities.
