Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1984, this property is 40 years old and shows clear signs of significant aging with no apparent major renovations. The description explicitly states the home 'can be restored or a buyer can build new home,' indicating it is not move-in ready and requires substantial work. The interior images, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, reveal severely outdated fixtures, appliances, cabinetry, and finishes (e.g., dated wood cabinets, old countertops, worn carpets, and 1980s-style tile in multiple bathrooms). While the exterior appears maintained, the interior requires extensive rehabilitation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria of requiring 'substantial repairs and rehabilitation' and major components showing significant signs of being outdated or needing replacement.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prestigious Location: Situated in the highly coveted Beverly Hills 90210 area, offering an exclusive and desirable address.
Exceptional Views: Boasts spectacular, unobstructed views of the city lights, ocean, and surrounding hills, a premium feature in this market.
Development Potential: Presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to either undertake a significant restoration of the existing French Normandy home or build a brand-new custom residence.
Generous & Usable Lot: Features a premier half-acre (26,287 sqft) property with a substantial amount of flat land and 188 feet of street frontage, ideal for development or extensive landscaping.
Secluded & Quiet Environment: Located on a very quiet street with minimal traffic, ensuring privacy and tranquility.
Cons
Condition Requires Significant Investment: The 1984-built French Normandy home is presented as an opportunity to 'restore or build new,' indicating it likely requires substantial renovation or a complete rebuild, incurring significant additional costs beyond the purchase price.
Potential for Outdated Features: Given its 1984 construction and the implied need for restoration, the existing home likely contains outdated systems, finishes, and layouts that do not meet contemporary luxury standards.
Limited Immediate Livability: For buyers seeking a move-in ready luxury property, this home's current condition suggests it is not immediately habitable to a high standard, requiring a substantial project timeline before full enjoyment.
