This property, built in 1959, underwent a full and extensive renovation in 2016 by a renowned designer, Christopher Kennedy.

Bathrooms are equally updated with contemporary vanities, tiling, and fixtures. Flooring is consistent white tile, and lighting is modern. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance or physical depreciation, aligning with the 'virtually new' and 'meeting current quality standards' aspects of an excellent rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9583, living area = 1224.
The property boasts significant historical and cultural value as the former home of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee, designed by the renowned architectural duo Palmer and Krisel, and built by Alexander, appealing to enthusiasts of Mid-Century Modern history and celebrity lore.
An iconic Mid-Century Modern home, it was gorgeously updated and fully renovated in 2016 by Christopher Kennedy, featured in his book, and meticulously maintains distinguishing original features like tongue and groove ceilings and walls of glass (now dual pane).
At 1224 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking larger homes, especially given the property's price point.
Despite a significant renovation in 2016, the home's original construction year of 1959 means that some underlying systems or components, if not fully replaced during the renovation, could potentially require more frequent maintenance or future upgrades compared to newer constructions.
The property has undergone a recent price reduction from its initial listing, which, while potentially a strategic market correction, could raise questions for some buyers regarding initial overpricing or perceived value.
