More Insights

Built in 1981 (44 years old).
Condition: This property has undergone a recent and extensive high-end remodel, as explicitly stated in the description and supported by the images. The chef's kitchen features top-tier Thermador and SubZero appliances, granite countertops, and an island, indicating modern luxury. Bathrooms are updated with chic soaking tubs, double vanities, and contemporary fixtures. Travertine flooring, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures are visible throughout. While the original build year is 1981, the comprehensive renovation brings the property to current quality standards with virtually new components and no deferred maintenance in the visible areas. The only minor consideration is the lack of explicit detail on HVAC system updates, but the overall condition of the renovated spaces is outstanding.

Cons

Significant Price Appreciation: The current list price of $3.5M represents a substantial increase from its last sale at $1.79M in May 2024, which, despite extensive remodeling, may present appraisal challenges or narrow the buyer pool.
Original Construction Year (1981): While extensively remodeled, the underlying structure dates back to 1981. The description does not specify updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which could be a potential concern for long-term maintenance or future upgrades.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The property description highlights gas fireplaces but does not mention a central air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in Southern California.
