Condition Rating
Good

This 1963 Mid-Century home has undergone significant and stylish renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, sleek gray flat-panel cabinets, dark granite countertops, and a contemporary mosaic tile backsplash. The bathrooms are also extensively updated with modern vanities, vessel sinks, glass-enclosed showers with rain shower heads, and updated tiling, all appearing to be in excellent condition. Engineered wood floors are present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and recessed lighting provides a modern ambiance. While the property boasts many high-quality, recent updates, the absence of central air conditioning (a notable weakness in the property analysis) and the original build year prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' score, as 'Excellent' typically implies all major systems, including HVAC, are new or virtually new. However, the extensive and high-quality renovations clearly place it above 'Fair'.
Pros & Cons

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9537, living area = 2039.
Great Schools: Elementary School: West Hollywood Elementary School (9/10). High School: Beverly Hills High School (9/10).
Architectural Style & Privacy: A private, walled Mid-Century home offering a desirable aesthetic and enhanced seclusion, a key feature for luxury properties in Los Angeles.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: Features a remodeled private courtyard pool with both gas & solar heating, a deck overlooking a lush hillside garden with oak & fruit trees, a custom pergola with adjustable awnings, and a fully fenced yard with automatic drip & sprinkler systems, creating an ideal entertaining and relaxation space.
Versatile Casita: Includes a separate Casita with a half bath and poolside views, providing flexible space for a guest suite, home office, gym, or other uses, significantly enhancing the property's functionality and appeal.
Prime Laurel Canyon Location: Situated in a prime area of upper Laurel Canyon on a flat street with sidewalks and street parking, offering easy access to the Mulholland Tennis Club, Studio City, and the Sunset Strip, and located within the highly-rated Wonderland Elementary School District.

Cons

Significant Overpricing: The current listing price of $2.575M is 30% higher than the estimated property value of $1.78M, and notably above several recently sold comparable properties in the immediate vicinity, suggesting it may be significantly overpriced for the current market.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description highlights pool heating but makes no mention of a central cooling system (AC) for the main house, which is a significant drawback for comfort in Los Angeles' climate, especially when comparable properties often include HVAC.
Potential for Older Systems: While parts of the home are remodeled, the 1963 build year suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof, windows) may not have been comprehensively updated, potentially leading to future maintenance or replacement costs not explicitly addressed in the description.
