Panoramic Views: Offers boundless, breathtaking city light and jetliner views, prominently showcased through walls of glass and from the patio, enhancing its luxury appeal.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1616, other record living area = 1221. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a significant consideration for comfort during warmer months in Studio City.
Potential for Older Infrastructure: While interior aesthetics are updated, the 1950 build year suggests that major underlying systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may not have been fully replaced, potentially requiring future investment.
Compact Interior Footprint: With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms within 1616 sqft, the interior spaces, particularly individual rooms, may feel compact for some buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
