Age of Property & Systems: Built in 1961, while offering classic charm, the property's age may imply that core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) could be original or require significant updates and maintenance, which are not explicitly detailed as having been recently completed.
High Maintenance Outdoor Features: The expansive pool and multi-level orchard, while luxurious amenities, will likely incur substantial ongoing maintenance costs and require significant time commitment for upkeep, which may not appeal to all buyers.
Lack of Explicit Modern Climate Control: The description does not mention a central air conditioning system. While Santa Monica enjoys a mild climate, the absence of modern cooling could be a drawback for some buyers, especially given the property's high-end market position.
