Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1985, making it 39 years old. While the description mentions 'custom kitchen' and 'updated fireplace,' the images reveal that the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated in style and features. The kitchen has older-style painted cabinets and speckled granite countertops, with some older appliances. The main bathroom features very dated tile countertops, floor, and light fixtures. The elevator also appears to be original or very old. The property seems well-maintained overall, with real hardwood floors in some areas, but it clearly requires substantial cosmetic updates and a 'designer's vision' to modernize it, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with outdated major components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Beverly Hills Location & Nature Access: Situated in the desirable Beverly Hills Post Office, offering both proximity to Sunset Blvd and the tranquility of Franklin Canyon with direct access to trails and parks, plus inclusion in the coveted Warner Avenue Elementary School district.
Exceptional Value & Customization Potential: Listed significantly below the average price per square foot for the area, presenting a rare opportunity for a buyer to personalize and add substantial value through a designer's vision.
Expansive & Feature-Rich Interior: A massive 4,335 sqft residence boasting high ceilings, real hardwood floors, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a large media space, providing ample room for luxury living and entertainment.
Enhanced Accessibility & Unique Amenities: Equipped with a well-maintained elevator serving all floors, a custom wet bar, and a private outdoor space, adding convenience and distinctive luxury elements.
Picturesque Canyon & Treetop Views: Enjoy serene canyon and treetop views from nearly every room, creating a peaceful and visually appealing living environment.

Cons

Significant Renovation/Design Investment Required: Explicitly stated as 'ready for a designer's vision' and 'unfurnished and ready for your pinterest board,' implying that substantial additional investment in design, updates, and personalization will be necessary.
Potentially Dated Architectural Style: Built in 1985, the 'Italian Renaissance Revival' style may require modernization to appeal to current aesthetic trends, potentially involving considerable renovation costs.
Modest Lot Size for Property Scale: With a 7,524 sqft lot for a 4,335 sqft home, the outdoor space might be considered relatively limited for a property of this size and caliber in Beverly Hills, potentially restricting extensive outdoor amenities.
