Classic Hollywood Hills traditional home with sun filled rooms throughout. Outstanding Views. Excellent walkable location to the Sunset Strip. Well built house with classic detailing that showcases modern furnishings. The step down living room has beautiful refinished pegged & grooved hardwood floors, fireplace & french doors opening to the private outdoor patio. The Formal Dining Room has mirrored walls with views out to all of LA. The very functional Chef's Kitchen has a great layout for efficient cooking. Off the kitchen is the fabulous awning covered patio w/ to-die-for views - perfect for twilight outdoor dining or Sunday afternoon lounging. The center hall floor plan has a beautiful architectural curved staircase leading to the 2 spacious upper bedrooms - each with its own bathroom. A perfect retreat terrace flanks the primary bedroom - also with great views of the city. The lower level features the 3rd, very large bedroom which can be used in multiple ways: As a media / entertainment room; As a workout / exercise room; or, As a work-at-home office with private outside entry. The main level has another bedroom / bath (originally the maids room) that makes for a perfect home office. The two car garage has abundant extra space for storage. Drought tolerant landscaping surrounding the house makes for easy exterior maintenance. The hardwood floors throughout the two main level were just refinished to their natural golden beauty & all interior walls in the main rooms were repainted for a fresh & clean look. In addition, the entire exterior was just re-plastered with an elegant smooth stucco. Don't let the front steps deter you - everyday access to the house is only a few steps up from the 2 car garage or rear street parking with direct access to the kitchen, den or living room. The unique positioning of this hillside lot makes this house both an uphill and a downhill house - the rear of the house is at street level while the front is elevated above street level.

Condition Rating
Good

This 1941-built home has undergone significant recent cosmetic renovations, including refinished hardwood floors, repainted interior walls, and a re-plastered exterior, making it aesthetically move-in ready. The 'Chef's Kitchen' appears updated with modern appliances and a functional layout, and the bathrooms also show modern fixtures and finishes in the images. While the property lacks central air conditioning and there's a potential for other major systems (plumbing, electrical) to be older, the extensive recent updates to key areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and overall aesthetics elevate its condition beyond 'Fair' and align it with 'Good' as it requires no immediate renovation.

Cons

Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1941, while cosmetically updated, the description does not explicitly detail upgrades to major systems such as HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, which may require future investment.
Multi-Level Access Considerations: The property's hillside lot and multi-level design, described as both 'uphill and a downhill house' with front steps, may present access challenges for some buyers, despite garage and rear street entry options.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: There is no mention of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort drawback in a 'sun filled' Los Angeles home, particularly during warmer seasons.
