Pros & Cons

Extensive Renovation & Modern Design: The home has been 'totally re-done' in a contemporary style with an ideal open layout, suggesting a move-in ready and updated interior.
Desirable Outdoor Living Space: Features a spacious backyard with a pool and lounge area, complemented by a beautiful covered patio, perfect for entertaining and relaxation.

Functional Layout & Master Suite: The layout includes a dedicated office, large living area, and a master suite complete with a bright full bath, balcony, and walk-in closet, enhancing livability and luxury.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-08-26. The sold price is $2,850,000.00.
Significant Price Discrepancy: The listing price of $2.96M is substantially higher (approximately 28% above) the estimated property value of $2.117M, which may indicate overpricing or a challenging valuation.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning Mention: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern and potential additional expense for buyers in the Los Angeles climate.
Mixed Local School Ratings: While some nearby schools have good ratings, the presence of elementary schools with lower ratings (e.g., Wilshire Crest Elementary with a rating of 2) might be a deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
