More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: This property features beautifully updated interiors, including a modern kitchen with sleek cabinets, contemporary countertops, and stainless steel appliances (except for the refrigerator), along with stylish recessed lighting and new flooring. Both bathrooms are extensively renovated with modern large-format tiling, updated vanities, and high-end fixtures, including a luxurious freestanding soaking tub in one. The overall aesthetic is turn-key and appears to have undergone a significant renovation within the last 5-10 years. However, despite these extensive cosmetic and functional updates, the property was built in 1956, and a major weakness noted is the absence of central air conditioning, which is a significant functional deficiency for a modern home, especially in a warm climate. This prevents it from achieving an 'Excellent' score, as not all major systems meet current quality standards, and the underlying infrastructure is still quite old.

Extensive Modern Updates: The property has been beautifully updated with stylishly renovated bathrooms, modern vanities, sleek showers, and thoughtful upgrades, presenting as a turn-key home.
Open Concept Living: Features a bright, open floorplan enhanced by soaring beamed ceilings, recessed lighting, and a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas, ideal for modern living and entertaining.

Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1956, the property's underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) may still be original or require significant updates not covered by cosmetic renovations, potentially leading to future maintenance costs.
Lack of Premium Views: While having a 'Neighborhood' view, the property does not offer more desirable views such as city lights, mountains, or ocean, which can limit its top-tier market appeal.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description makes no mention of a cooling system, which is a common omission in older homes and could be a significant drawback in Van Nuys' hot climate, potentially requiring a costly installation.
