More Insights

Built in 1922 (104 years old).
Condition: Built in 1922, this traditional home shows signs of regular upkeep but has not undergone a recent extensive renovation. The kitchen features very dated appliances (e.g., the double wall oven) and older cabinetry and countertops, requiring a full modernization. Bathrooms are also significantly outdated with 80s/90s style fixtures, vanities, and tile work (e.g., yellow mosaic tiles, gold-framed shower). While some areas have newer laminate flooring and the hardwood floors appear well-maintained, the overall aesthetic and key functional areas are aged and would require substantial updates to meet current market expectations, especially in Beverly Hills. The non-permitted guest house is also a notable concern.

Historical Significance: The property boasts a unique celebrity pedigree as the former residence of actress Mary Martin, adding a distinctive and potentially valuable historical appeal.

Cons

Non-Permitted Guest House: The guest house is explicitly stated as non-permitted, which could lead to legal complications, require costly remediation, or impact future resale value.
Age of Property / Potential for Updates: Built in 1922, the traditional home may require significant investment in updating core infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and preferences, which are not detailed as recently upgraded.
