Condition: Built in 1933 and 'fully reimagined in 2000,' the property's last major renovation is now 24 years old, placing it within the 'Fair' category's renovation timeline. While the home is well-maintained with good hardwood floors and a recently resurfaced pool, the kitchen features wood cabinets and dark countertops that, along with the classic but not contemporary bathroom styles, show signs of being outdated. Major systems are functional but could benefit from modernization to meet current buyer expectations, and the listing notes a potential lack of modern cooling.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: West Hollywood Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Desirable Location & School District: Situated in the highly sought-after Laurel Canyon area within Hollywood Hills West, this property benefits from a prime location and is in close proximity to the highly-rated Wonderland Avenue Elementary School (0.22 miles, rating 9).
Versatile Living Spaces: Beyond the main 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house, the property features a roomy, separate studio/guest house with its own vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, skylights, and fireplace, offering excellent flexibility for guests, an office, or potential rental income.
Private Outdoor Oasis: The property boasts a recently resurfaced and re-tiled private pool bathed in sunlight, a hidden rear yard/garden, and is gated, ensuring exceptional privacy and a tranquil outdoor living experience.
Architectural Charm & Features: A classic 1933 home 'fully reimagined in 2000' that retains character with modern comforts, featuring hickory floors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and abundant natural light.
Ample Parking & Storage: A significant advantage in the hills, the property includes a three-car garage with individual roll-up doors and storage closets, plus an additional 5 off-street parking spots, providing generous parking capacity.
Cons
Age of Renovation: While 'fully reimagined in 2000,' this renovation is now over two decades old, suggesting that some systems or aesthetic elements may be nearing the end of their useful life or could benefit from further modernization to meet current buyer expectations.
Potential Lack of Modern Cooling System: The property description highlights natural light and privacy but makes no mention of a central air conditioning system, which could be a notable drawback for comfort during Los Angeles's hot summer months.
Hillside Property Considerations: Its hillside location, while offering views and privacy, may present specific challenges related to access, ongoing maintenance (e.g., retaining walls, drainage), and potentially limited flat usable yard space beyond the pool and hidden garden.
