Pros & Cons
Pros
Unparalleled Architectural Pedigree: This property is the 1964 Strick House, Oscar Niemeyer's only residential project in North America, making it a globally significant modernist architectural work and a crowning jewel of mid-century design.
Prime, Exclusive Location: Situated on Santa Monica's highly sought-after La Mesa Drive, one of Los Angeles's most famous architectural enclaves, offering prestige and desirability.
Exceptional Views: Positioned overlooking the Riviera Country Club, the property boasts desirable views including Canyon, Park/Greenbelt, Golf Course, and Mountain(s).
Generous Lot Size & Landscaping: Sitting on an over half-acre lot (26,762 sqft) in Santa Monica, a rare find, complemented by lush tropical gardens and extensive landscaping for privacy and aesthetic appeal.
Distinctive Architectural Features: Features such as 14-foot ceilings and walls of glass maximize natural light and views, embodying the open and airy aesthetic characteristic of modernist design.
Cons
High Price Point & Niche Market: The substantial list price of nearly $16 million targets a very exclusive buyer pool, and the specific modernist architectural style, while a strength for enthusiasts, further narrows the market.
Significant Price Reduction: A 20% price drop from the original listing ($19.995M to $15.995M) could suggest initial overvaluation or a prolonged market period, potentially leading buyers to question the property's true value or market demand.
Potential for Modernization Costs: While architecturally preserved, a 1965 build may require updates to systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) or interior finishes to meet contemporary luxury standards, which could entail significant additional investment and careful consideration to maintain its historical integrity.
