Built in 1962 and owned by the same family for over 60 years, this property features a unique blend of Mid-Century Modern and traditional elegance. While the description notes 'very upgraded finishes' including terrazzo flooring, marble countertops, and stainless appliances, the images reveal that these upgrades, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly dated in style (e.g., tiled kitchen countertops, ornate chandeliers, gold-plated fixtures, extensive mirrors, and specific wallpaper in bathrooms, and a gold mosaic sunken tub). The property is well-maintained but requires substantial aesthetic updates to align with current trends. A significant functional drawback is the apparent lack of central air conditioning, which is a major system update needed for a home of this size and location. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, indicating an aged but maintained home where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require minor to substantial updates.
The property offers direct, expansive views of Recreation Park golf course from multiple rooms and balconies, significantly enhancing its desirability and value.

A custom-built property featuring a distinctive blend of Mid-Century Modern and traditional elegance, highlighted by upgraded materials such as terrazzo flooring, marble countertops, two marble fireplaces, and stainless steel kitchen appliances.
The unique combination of Mid-Century Modern and traditional elegance with specific finishes like gold-plated doorknobs and white columns, while upgraded, may appeal to a niche buyer, potentially limiting broader market interest.
The detailed description makes no mention of central air conditioning, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in a large 1962-built home in Southern California.
Multiple price adjustments since the initial listing indicate potential market resistance or overpricing, suggesting the property may require a longer sales cycle or further negotiation.
