More Insights
Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1956, the property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, as evidenced by the 'thoughtfully updated' description and the images. The kitchen features top-tier appliances like a Lacanche range and Sub-Zero refrigerator, along with modern cabinetry and finishes. The primary bathroom is spa-like with a freestanding tub, oversized shower, and contemporary tiling. All visible interior spaces, including flooring, light fixtures, and secondary bathrooms, appear virtually new and meet current luxury standards, indicating a recent and comprehensive overhaul.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4315, other record living area = 3412. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Age of Construction: Built in 1956, while thoughtfully updated, the property's underlying infrastructure may be older, potentially requiring more significant maintenance or upgrades in areas not explicitly mentioned as renovated (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems beyond cosmetic updates).
Canyon Location Specifics: Being 'tucked away in Nichols Canyon' can imply challenging access via winding or steep roads, potentially limited street parking, and increased exposure to natural hillside considerations such as fire risk or mudslides, common in such topography.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System Mention: The description highlights warmth and sunlit spaces but does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during Los Angeles' hotter months, especially for a home of this vintage.
