Condition Rating
Fair
The property, originally built in 1933, was 'fully reimagined in 2000,' placing its last major renovation 24 years ago. While the description mentions 'hickory floors, vaulted ceilings, and skylights' which appear well-maintained in the images, and the pool was 'very recently resurfaced and re-tiled,' the kitchen's wood cabinets and dark countertops, though clean and functional, reflect an early 2000s style rather than current trends. No images of the main bathrooms were provided, but assuming they align with the kitchen's age, they would likely be functional but dated. The overall condition suggests a well-maintained home that received a significant update over two decades ago, fitting the 'Fair' category's criteria of being renovated between 15 to 30 years ago, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: West Hollywood Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Prime Laurel Canyon Location: Highly desirable address offering excellent proximity to Hollywood, studios, and the Sunset Strip, appealing to a wide range of buyers seeking convenience and prestige.
Versatile Living Spaces: Features a main house with flexible rooms (e.g., 3rd bedroom as office) and a separate, fully-equipped studio with a bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for guests, rental income, or a dedicated workspace.
Updated Classic Charm: A 1933 classic home 'fully reimagined in 2000' boasting modern amenities like hickory floors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and abundant natural light, blending historic character with contemporary living.
Private Outdoor Oasis: Includes a recently resurfaced and re-tiled private pool bathed in sunlight, a hidden rear garden, and a gated entrance, providing exclusive and serene outdoor living spaces.
Top-Rated School Proximity: Located within walking distance (0.22 miles) of Wonderland Avenue Elementary School, a highly-rated institution (9/10), making it highly attractive to families.
Cons
Age of Original Structure: Despite a 2000 renovation, the core structure dates back to 1933, which may lead to concerns about original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) not explicitly updated in the description.
Modest Lot Size: The 5,000 sqft lot, while accommodating a pool and separate studio, is relatively compact for a property of this caliber in the area, potentially limiting extensive outdoor expansion or privacy from immediate neighbors.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a price reduction from $1.9M to $1.795M, which could suggest initial overpricing or a longer time on market, potentially raising questions for prospective buyers.
