Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

This 1934 estate is move-in ready and features high-end updates including a chef's kitchen, spa-like bathrooms, and modern retractable walls of glass. While it retains its historic architectural character with cross-trussed beams, the property has been well-maintained with luxury amenities like a pool cabana, sauna, and updated flooring. It fits the 'good' criteria as a well-maintained home with significant updates that do not require immediate renovation.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 18170, living area = 2496.

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: West Hollywood Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).

  • Prime Location & Privacy

    Situated in the desirable lower Nichols Canyon, this gated estate offers a secluded spa-like atmosphere while remaining moments away from the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2496, other record living area = 2340.

  • Potential Historic Maintenance

    Given the 1934 construction date, the property may require ongoing specialized maintenance or updates to vintage systems to meet contemporary efficiency standards.

  • High Price Per Square Foot

    At nearly $2.5M for approximately 2,496 square feet, the valuation is heavily weighted toward the land and location rather than the interior living volume.

About 1853 Nichols Canyon Road

Set in the lush foothills of lower Nichols Canyon, this gated estate is located over a bridge amidst extensive gardens, pool, spa, cabana and another hilltop hot tub with views. Once parked in the brick motor court, the beautiful architecture and privacy of the setting become evident.... yet the location is just moments from the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Inside, the interiors feature dramatic cross-trussed beams, two large wood-burning fireplaces and walls of glass that retract to reveal dramatic hillside gardens. The chef's kitchen, dining room and den are all open to each other and flow out the patios through those large open doors. The spacious master suite has soaring wood beam ceilings, separate dressing area/office and a spa-like bath. The two guest rooms at the other side of the house share a large bath with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The property has the feeling of a spa retreat within the city. There are many sitting areas tucked within the gardens and pathways up to multiple viewing decks with city views. The pool cabana is located adjacent to the spa and fire-pit and offers a large sauna, bath and shower. There is so much to offer in this truly special setting.
