Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1978, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations that bring it to a contemporary standard. The primary bathroom is particularly impressive, featuring a spa-like design with dual vanities, modern fixtures, and a large dual-head shower, appearing virtually new. The kitchen, while described as 'quaint,' is equipped with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and modern wood cabinetry, making it functional and stylish. Throughout the home, modern wood-look tile flooring, updated light fixtures, and large windows contribute to a bright, contemporary aesthetic. While not a brand-new construction, the significant updates ensure the property is move-in ready with minimal wear and tear, aligning well with the 'Good' rating criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Property Age & Kitchen Scale
Built in 1978, the property's age, coupled with a 'quaint kitchen' description, suggests potential for further modernization or a smaller kitchen footprint than some luxury buyers might expect.
- Significant Association Fees
A substantial association fee of $1587.5 adds a considerable recurring cost to ownership, which may impact overall affordability and budget planning.
- Modest Lot Size
The 4616 sqft lot size is relatively modest for a Malibu property, potentially limiting extensive outdoor space or privacy for buyers not acquiring the adjacent lot.
