Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1981, the property is well-maintained and functional but remains largely in its original state, showing significant stylistic obsolescence. While the living areas feature impressive vaulted ceilings, the interior is dated with 1980s-era green carpeting, original dark wood cabinetry, and gold-toned bathroom fixtures. The listing description and price reductions further confirm that the unit requires modernization and 'thoughtful updates' to meet current market standards for luxury condominiums in West Los Angeles.
Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
The property features one of the largest private rooftop terraces in the area, providing an exceptional outdoor living space for entertaining with panoramic city views.
As a top-floor unit with soaring vaulted ceilings and a flexible loft, the home offers a sense of scale and abundant natural light that is rare for the West Los Angeles condo market.
The monthly association fee of $1,000 is relatively high for a building of this age, which may deter budget-conscious buyers or impact financing ratios.
The property is described as needing 'thoughtful updates,' and the significant price history reductions suggest that the interior condition requires additional capital investment to meet modern luxury standards.
Perched on the top floor with soaring vaulted ceilings and sweeping city views, this 3-bedroom plus loft, 3-bathroom residence offers a rare blend of volume, warmth, and sophistication. With approximately 2,040 square feet of living space, the home can be easily transformed with just a few thoughtful updates to truly make it your own. One of the standout features is the expansive private rooftop terrace—among the largest in the area—offering plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying evenings under the stars and city lights. Being so high above the city, opening the windows often welcomes a refreshing breeze that enhances the home’s airy atmosphere. Originally built for the developer, the unit includes refined details not commonly found in neighboring properties. A fireplace anchors the inviting living space, while natural light floods in from multiple directions, showcasing the architectural lines and open flow. The loft provides flexible space for a home office, creative studio, or guest area. Two covered parking spaces and dedicated storage in the secure garage add convenience. This is a rare opportunity to own a residence that feels elevated both in layout and in lifestyle.
