The property is a meticulously maintained mid-century modern estate featuring high-end renovations. The chef's kitchen is updated with premium Viking appliances, Paradiso Granite, and soft-close cabinetry, while the bathrooms offer luxury features like a Japanese-inspired steam shower and Grohe fixtures.

The 'all-cash' requirement is a result of regional land movement rather than the physical deterioration of the dwelling itself.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 25314, living area = 2207.
