Cons

Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: Built in 1926, the property, despite mentioning 'modern amenities,' may present potential buyers with concerns regarding the condition of older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that are not explicitly detailed as updated.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The description highlights 'French doors allowing for some fresh air on a nice warm summer evening' but does not indicate the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort drawback in Los Angeles's climate.
Terraced Garden Maintenance: While aesthetically pleasing, the terraced garden with native plants and citrus trees may require considerable ongoing maintenance and water, potentially deterring buyers seeking low-maintenance outdoor spaces.
