The kitchen features high-end stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and hardwood flooring, all in excellent condition. The primary bathroom is described as spa-inspired with a jetted tub and walk-in shower. While some minor elements like the powder room light fixture and certain ceiling fan styles show a slightly more traditional aesthetic that isn't ultra-modern, they are functional and well-maintained. The home is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems like whole-house HVAC are in place and functional.

Luxurious & Spacious Interior Design: A palatial 4,000 sq ft custom-designed residence featuring an expansive open floor plan, soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, a gourmet chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, and a grand primary suite with a spa-inspired bath.
Prime Baldwin Hills Estates Location: Situated in the prestigious hills of Baldwin Hills Estates, a desirable enclave known for its sense of community, serenity, and excellent proximity to the best of Los Angeles.

Modernized & Well-Appointed: Re-imagined and issued a Certificate of Occupancy in 2010, the home features whole-house heating and air conditioning, upgraded solid wood cabinetry, custom built-ins, and contemporary finishes throughout.

Cons

Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a notable price reduction from its original list price of $1.925M to $1.699M, which may suggest initial overpricing or market resistance.
Limited Outdoor Space for Home Size: The 4,000 sq ft residence is built on a 6,788 sq ft lot, potentially resulting in a smaller-than-expected backyard or less expansive outdoor living area for a property of this scale.
Reliance on Virtual Staging: The listing explicitly states the use of 'virtually staged photos and video,' which may indicate the property is currently vacant or unfurnished, requiring buyers to envision its full potential and potentially incur additional staging costs.
