Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Age of Infrastructure: Built in 1964, the property's underlying systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require significant updates, which are not explicitly mentioned as having been completed, potentially leading to future capital expenditures.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The description highlights warmth and natural light but does not mention the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which is a critical amenity for comfort in Los Angeles' climate.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms for a 2,821 square foot home, the bathroom-to-bedroom ratio might be considered low for a luxury property in this price range and area, potentially impacting convenience for multiple occupants or guests.
