Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1962 mid-century home with recent functional updates including a newer roof, plumbing, and central HVAC. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated, featuring cabinetry and tile work likely from a renovation over 20 years ago. While move-in ready, it requires aesthetic updates to meet modern standards.
The home features classic 1962 design elements including high beamed ceilings, wood floors, and an open floor plan that perfectly captures the sought-after Glassell Park aesthetic.
The property offers phenomenal, unobstructed views of the canyon, mountains, and city lights from every room, complemented by a spacious sunroom and multiple expansive balconies.
Recent high-value improvements including a newer roof, updated plumbing, central HVAC, and a freshly painted interior provide significant peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
As a hillside retreat, the property lacks a traditional flat backyard, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking outdoor play areas or extensive gardening space.
The layout places the primary suite and additional bedrooms on a lower level, which may not appeal to buyers with mobility concerns or those preferring a single-story living experience.
