Condition Rating
Good
This 1938 Spanish compound is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and a large prep island, appearing highly functional, though the custom wood cabinetry and terracotta-style flooring reflect a traditional Spanish aesthetic rather than a recent ultra-modern renovation. Bathrooms have been updated with contemporary fixtures, vanities, and tiling. Hardwood and Spanish paver tile flooring throughout the main living areas are in excellent condition. While the property retains its original charm and has seen significant updates (including solar panels), its age and the noted absence of central air conditioning prevent an 'Excellent' rating. However, the overall quality, evident upkeep, and updated key areas place it firmly in the 'Good' category, requiring no immediate renovations.

High Maintenance for Grounds & Amenities: The sprawling compound with its massive courtyard, lush foliage, pool, and spa suggests significant ongoing costs and effort for landscaping and amenity upkeep.
