Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: West Hollywood Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Luxury Indoor-Outdoor Living & Entertainment: The property offers seamless indoor-outdoor living with a resort-style pool, spouting water features, sun-drenched terraces, an alfresco dining area with a BBQ kitchen, and a separate fire pit lounge, ideal for the quintessential California lifestyle and entertaining.
High-End Contemporary Design & Finishes: Newly rebuilt with exquisite, warm contemporary architecture, the residence showcases extraordinary attention to detail, masterful craftsmanship, a gourmet chef's kitchen with premier appliances, and a stunning primary suite with a spa-style bath.
Advanced Smart Home Technology: Equipped with an enterprise-grade, state-of-the-art network system, full Sonos multi-room audio, and home automation run on Apple HomeKit (upgradeable to Savant or Control4), providing modern convenience and connectivity.
Prime & Private Hollywood Hills Location: Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Hollywood Hills, the property is gated and hedged for privacy, offering a tranquil hillside setting while being minutes from Laurel Canyon Blvd and the renowned shopping, dining, and entertainment of the Sunset Strip.
Ample Parking: The property provides one covered parking spot and additional gated parking for four vehicles, a significant advantage in the Hollywood Hills area where parking can often be limited.

Cons

Significant Overpricing Relative to Market Estimation: The current list price of $3.495M is substantially higher than the estimated property value of $2.596M, indicating a potential overvaluation of approximately 25% which could deter buyers and prolong market time.
Smaller Interior Square Footage Compared to Newer Comps: At 3257 sqft, the property offers less living space than several newer, recently sold comparable properties in the area (e.g., 3850 sqft and 3870 sqft for similar bedroom counts), potentially impacting its competitive appeal for buyers seeking maximum space.
Age of Original Construction (1996) Despite Rebuild: While 'newly rebuilt,' the property's original construction year of 1996 means it is not a brand-new build. This could be a minor drawback for buyers who prioritize the latest construction standards and warranties found in truly new homes, especially when competing with very recent builds in the market.
