Despite being built in 1928, this Spanish Colonial Estate presents as move-in ready with significant, tasteful updates. The kitchen features modern 'chef's appliances,' white shaker cabinetry, and contemporary lighting, appearing recently renovated to a high standard. The primary bathroom is described as 'gorgeous vintage style' with floor-to-ceiling tiles, double sinks, and separate tub/shower, indicating a well-maintained and stylish update. Original hardwood floors and vintage Spanish tile are well-preserved. While the property's age suggests potential for ongoing maintenance of older systems (as noted in the weaknesses), the visible areas, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, are in excellent condition, aligning with a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.

Sensational Canyon & City Views: The property offers sensational views of the canyon and city lights from multiple rooms and romantic balconies, significantly enhancing its desirability and ambiance.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: Built in 1928, the property may require ongoing maintenance and potential updates to original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and efficiency expectations.
Multi-Level Layout & Accessibility: The three-level floor plan, accessed via staircases, may present accessibility challenges for some buyers or those preferring single-story living.
Lack of Mentioned Central Cooling: The property description does not specify the presence of a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during Los Angeles' hotter months.
