Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1938, this Streamline Moderne home is exceptionally well-preserved but remains dated by modern standards. The kitchen and bathrooms retain their 'classic charm' with vintage fixtures and cabinetry that appear to be over 30 years old. While the property is functional and clean, the lack of recent renovations to the wet rooms and likely aged systems (HVAC/Electric) per the 2006 feature date places it in the fair category.
Elementary School: Ivanhoe Elementary School (9/10).
This rare 1938 Streamline Moderne residence offers timeless Hollywood glamour with unique features like a sculptural spiral staircase, soaring ceilings, and a history of being featured in the L.A. Times.
The property boasts breathtaking, unobstructed views of the city lights and mountains, complemented by a resort-style pool, spa, and expansive upper decks that maximize the indoor-outdoor connection.
While the kitchen and interiors retain classic charm, they may require significant capital investment to update finishes and appliances to meet contemporary luxury standards.
As a vintage 1930s estate, the property likely requires specialized and potentially costly upkeep of its architectural elements and older infrastructure systems.
