Property is extensive renovation needed.
While the home is described as well-kept, it is a 1955 build that appears to have had its last major interior update 40-50 years ago. The kitchen features extremely dated dark wood cabinetry, floral-patterned tile countertops, and older appliances. The living spaces are dominated by heavy wood paneling and stone accents characteristic of the 1970s. Given the age and the listing's own description as a 'reimagine' opportunity, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization of all major systems and finishes to meet current market standards.

Situated just one block from Riviera Village and steps from the beach, this property occupies a highly coveted corner lot in the heart of the Lower Hollywood Riviera.
Boasting over 3,600 square feet of living space with 19-foot ceilings and a grand entry, the home offers a rare level of architectural scale and a functional layout for the area.
Positioned as a 'reimagine' opportunity, the 1955-built home likely requires significant capital investment to modernize its original finishes and systems to meet current luxury standards.
At a $3 million entry price, the additional costs required for a full-scale renovation may challenge the total cost basis relative to the immediate neighborhood's market ceiling.
