Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1934, this property is meticulously maintained but intentionally preserves its original architectural integrity. The kitchen and bathrooms feature vintage tile work and cabinetry that are significantly dated (>30 years). While the home is functional and move-in ready for a historic enthusiast, the systems and finishes do not meet the criteria for 'Good' or 'Excellent' due to their age and lack of recent modernization.
High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
The property is covered by the Mills Act, offering the homeowner substantial and ongoing property tax reductions, which is a major financial advantage for a multi-million dollar estate.
At over 9,600 square feet, this rare corner lot functions as a private residential compound, providing unusual scale for the Miracle Mile area with a pool, spa, and detached bungalow.
Being part of the South Carthay HPOZ and the National Register of Historic Places imposes strict limitations on exterior renovations and modifications to maintain historical compliance.
Despite its prominent location and premium price point, the property lacks any significant territorial or city views, which may be a drawback for luxury buyers in this segment.
