Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1985, this property shows signs of its age with largely original features. The kitchen features dated tiled countertops, light wood cabinets, and a fluorescent ceiling light panel, though some appliances appear to be newer stainless steel. Bathrooms also exhibit older styles with original fixtures and finishes. While the property appears well-maintained with fresh paint and some LED recessed lighting, it has not undergone a full modern renovation. The carpeted main living areas and terracotta tile entry are consistent with its age. It is functional but requires significant updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, placing it in the 'fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community: Situated in the desirable 'Malibu Country Estates' adjacent to Pepperdine University, benefiting from established infrastructure (sewer, sidewalks, streetlights, underground utilities) and a prestigious Malibu address.
Exclusive University Amenities Access: Residents gain unique access to Pepperdine University's extensive facilities, including an Olympic-size swimming pool, six tennis courts, gym, and track, offering significant lifestyle enhancements.
Private Outdoor Oasis: Features a private pool and spa with remote control, complemented by an extremely private backyard, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Spacious & Well-Designed Interior: A custom-built, single-story home with an open floor plan, high vaulted ceilings, LED recessed lighting, built-in cabinetry, wet bar, separate family room, dining room, and a luxurious Primary Suite with fireplace and custom walk-in closet.
Generous Parking & Storage: Boasts an oversized three-car garage (approx. 700 sq ft), providing ample space for vehicles and additional storage.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1985, the property's age suggests that some systems or aesthetic elements may require modernization or updates to meet current luxury standards, despite some mentioned upgrades.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description highlights 'light, bright and airy' but does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a significant comfort concern during Malibu's warmer periods.
Limited View (Mountain Only): While offering mountain views, the absence of highly sought-after ocean views, common in Malibu, might be a comparative disadvantage for some buyers in this premium market.
