A newly installed garage door has phone control and WiFi access for remote accessibility. Easy access to shops, restaurants, studios, hiking trails, freeways & the Westside. All rooms of the house have custom blackout window coverings for privacy and temperature control, along with a custom dog door for pet access.

Despite being built in 1949, this property has undergone an extensive and very recent renovation, bringing it to 'virtually new' condition. Key updates include brand new electrical panels (last year), a new AC condenser (2023), newly painted exterior, and recently re-landscaped backyard with new irrigation. The kitchen is a gourmet, fully equipped space with a stunning center island, stainless steel appliances, and immaculate cabinetry, all appearing modern and high-end in the images. The primary bathroom is equally impressive with a soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and modern double vanity. Hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, smart home features (thermostat, lighting, garage door), and a comprehensive security system further enhance its appeal. All major systems and visible components meet current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently and extensively renovated property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Upgrades & Smart Home Integration: The property boasts numerous recent upgrades including new electrical panels, a new AC condenser (2023), exterior paint, custom fencing, and a smart garage door. It also features smart thermostats and remote-controlled landscape lighting, enhancing modern living and efficiency.
Luxurious & Updated Interior Spaces: The home offers a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with a center island and stainless steel appliances, a formal dining area with a custom banquette and fireplace, and an astonishing primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, soaking tub, and separate shower.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Landscaping: The tranquil, re-landscaped backyard features a unique outdoor seating area, fire pit, newly built covered patio with an outdoor television, and remote-controlled string lighting. It also includes a new irrigation system and mature drought-tolerant landscaping.
ADU Conversion Potential for Garage: The thoughtfully designed two-car garage, with built-ins, a custom workbench, and a new cement floor, presents a significant opportunity for conversion into a large Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), adding potential value and living space.
Comprehensive Security & Privacy Features: Equipped with a complete perimeter security system, Nest Doorbell, custom blackout window coverings for privacy, and custom fencing, the property offers enhanced safety and seclusion for residents.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1949, despite extensive modern updates, the underlying structure is older, which may lead to concerns about unseen infrastructure or potential future maintenance requirements not covered by recent renovations.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only two bathrooms for a three-bedroom home, it may not adequately meet the needs or preferences of larger families or those desiring more facilities, especially considering the property's price point.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'view:None,' which could be a minor detractor for buyers who prioritize scenic vistas, a feature often sought after in desirable Encino neighborhoods.
