More Insights
Built in 1908 (118 years old).
Condition: Built in 1908, this property is over a century old. While the listing states three of the four units have been upgraded in the past 10 years, the images reveal a significant disparity in condition and style between units. The 'owner's unit' (images 4-10, 13-15, 17-19, 22-24, 34-36, 39-40) shows more recent updates with modern flooring, kitchen appliances (stainless steel fridge, dishwasher, farmhouse sink), and a renovated bathroom with marble-look tile and a contemporary vanity. However, other units (e.g., images 11, 12, 25-28) feature older, outdated kitchens with white appliances, laminate countertops, and bathrooms with pedestal sinks, older fixtures, and less appealing tile work. The overall property, including exterior and some interior spaces, shows signs of age and wear, consistent with a property built in 1908 that has received partial, rather than comprehensive, modern renovations across all units. The description also notes the owner's unit 'may require significant renovation' despite some visible updates, suggesting a mixed bag of conditions. This uneven renovation status and the property's age place it in the 'Fair' category, as it requires minor updates in some areas and potentially more substantial work in others to bring all units to a consistent, modern standard.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: West Hollywood Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Income-Generating Fourplex: This legal fourplex offers significant investment potential, with three units currently generating $5670/month and the owner's unit delivered vacant, allowing for immediate owner-occupancy or market-rate rental.
Prime Hollywood Hills West Location: Situated in the highly desirable Sunset Strip - Hollywood Hills West area, the property is minutes from Sunset Blvd, major studios, and the highly-rated Wonderland Avenue Elementary School, offering excellent connectivity and lifestyle.
Ample Parking & Privacy: A rare find in Los Angeles, the property boasts a two-car garage plus additional off-street parking for 8 cars. Its 'hidden' nature on a 1/4 acre lot, surrounded by tall trees, private patios, and terraced gardens, ensures exceptional privacy.
Historical Charm with Modern Updates: Built in 1908, 'The Three Sisters' carries a unique piece of early Hollywood history. While retaining its character, three of the four units have undergone upgrades in the past 10 years, blending historic appeal with contemporary living.
Versatile Living Arrangement: The top-floor owner's unit (2BR, 2BA + den with fireplace) will be delivered vacant at close of escrow, providing flexibility for a new owner to reside in the largest unit while benefiting from rental income, or to maximize rental returns.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 6.
Age of Property: Built in 1908, the property is over a century old. While some units are upgraded, an older structure may require ongoing maintenance, potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical), and may not fully comply with all modern building codes without further investment.
Partial Unit Upgrades: Only three of the four units have been upgraded in the past 10 years. The owner's unit, which is the largest, may require significant renovation to match the standard of the upgraded units or to appeal to modern tenants/buyers.
Canyon Location Considerations: While offering privacy and views, a canyon location can sometimes present challenges such as potentially steep or winding access roads, and specific environmental considerations like hillside stability or fire risk that may impact insurance or maintenance.
