The property features breathtaking 180-degree views spanning from the Downtown Los Angeles skyline to the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, visible from multiple levels.
Equipped with $30,000+ in paid Tesla solar panels, EV charging, and a comprehensive smart home suite including Sonos, Nest, and iAqualink systems.
A separate guest structure with a full kitchen, bath, and private courtyard provides an ideal space for a high-end home office, studio, or long-term guests.
The three-story architectural design requires frequent use of stairs, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking accessibility or a more lateral floor plan.
While the property excels in terraced outdoor living and decking, the hillside topography offers minimal flat grassy areas for pets or children's play.
Despite extensive modern upgrades, the original 1939 construction date may necessitate more rigorous ongoing maintenance of hillside foundations and drainage systems.
