Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Absence of Explicit Cooling System: Despite being 'sun-drenched' and located in Los Angeles, the description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months.
High Maintenance for Extensive Amenities: The extensive resort-style amenities, including a heated pool, spa, bocce ball court, and elaborate landscaping, will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance costs and utility expenses for a prospective owner.
Age of Original Structure (1969): While 'completely reimagined,' the home's original construction year of 1969 suggests that underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) may still be older, potentially leading to unforeseen issues or higher insurance premiums if not fully updated.
