Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1973, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated. While the home features high-quality original construction and premium views, the interior finishes—including parquet flooring, oak built-ins, vintage window treatments, and older ceiling fans—reflect a style from several decades ago. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but lacking the modern renovations expected in the current luxury market.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 58784, living area = 4750.
Elementary School: Cherokee Elementary School (9/10).
Situated on a 1.35-acre hillside lot, the property offers rare privacy and unobstructed, panoramic views of the valley and surrounding mountains.
