More Insights

Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property retains much of its original character and has not undergone extensive modern renovations in recent decades. While the description notes 'original hardwood floors and vintage tile' and 'brand-new copper plumbing,' the kitchen features dated yellow cabinets, red laminate countertops, and speckled flooring, and the bathroom has a pedestal sink and older tile work. These elements, though functional and well-maintained, are aesthetically outdated and would require significant updates to meet contemporary standards. The property is livable and charming but shows its age, fitting the 'Fair' category.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime & Private Location: Nestled on a tranquil street in the highly sought-after historical BHPO neighborhood, offering serene privacy while being minutes from Beverly Hills, Westwood, and the Valley.
Authentic Mid-Century Charm: Retains original hardwood floors, vintage tile, and artistic character from its 1951 build, presenting a unique and rare opportunity as it's on the market for the first time in over 30 years.
Exceptional Outdoor Oasis: The backyard is a private oasis featuring big sky views, a drought-resistant natural stone yard, a sun deck, and a charming concrete oval fountain that attracts native birds.
Flexible Detached Studio & Ample Parking: Includes a contemporary-designed detached studio perfect for an office or art space, complemented by rare and practical parking with a two-car garage, two-car carport, and additional front parking.
Significant Infrastructure Upgrade: Benefits from a crucial recent update with brand-new copper plumbing installed from the street to the house, reducing immediate concerns for a vital system.

Cons

Compact Interior Footprint: With only 1045 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the interior living space is modest, potentially limiting for buyers seeking larger accommodations or room for expansion within the existing structure.
Potential for Further System Updates: While plumbing is new, the 1951 build date suggests other major systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical, roof) may be original or require future investment to meet modern standards or preferences, as no cooling system is mentioned.
Canyon Property Considerations: Its 'canyon house' designation, while offering privacy and views, can sometimes present unique challenges such as steeper access, potential for hillside maintenance, or specific insurance considerations.
