Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1939, this property is well-maintained for its age and features some significant updates, such as the kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and new cabinets as per the description. The living areas boast well-kept hardwood floors and modern recessed lighting. However, the visible bathroom appears to have been updated approximately 15-30 years ago, showing a clean but somewhat dated style (e.g., tile work and vanity). While move-in ready, the property's overall condition reflects its age with a mix of updates and older elements, fitting the 'Fair' category of being aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, with some components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The property boasts gorgeous, panoramic views of the city, mountains, and hills from its private hilltop location and multiple balconies, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Expansive & Private Lot with Development Potential: Situated on a large 2.06-acre private hilltop lot, the property offers ample space and privacy, with two identified flat pads suitable for building an additional home, ADU, pool home, or potential lot split, providing significant future value.
Extensive Outdoor Entertainment & Recreation: The grounds feature a sparkling pool with a dedicated bathroom/dressing room, an above-ground spa, a large outdoor kitchen area, covered patios, and even a tree house, creating a comprehensive resort-like outdoor living experience.
Flexible Living Arrangements & Income Potential: The property includes a separate studio with a kitchenette and 3/4 bathroom with private entry, plus a converted garage with a living room, bar, 1/2 bathroom, den/gym, and laundry room, offering versatile options for multi-generational living, guest quarters, or potential rental income.
Updated Kitchen: The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and new cabinets, providing a modern and functional central hub for the home, complete with views.

Cons

Age of Home & Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1939, while charming, the property may have original or older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant maintenance, repair, or costly upgrades beyond the noted kitchen renovation.
High Maintenance for Extensive Grounds & Amenities: The large 2.06-acre lot with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, and numerous trees will require substantial ongoing landscaping and amenity maintenance, which could be a significant time and financial commitment for a buyer.
Bathroom Ratio in Main House: The main house features 4 bedrooms but only 2 full bathrooms, which might be considered a low bathroom-to-bedroom ratio for a property of 3,120 sq.ft., potentially impacting convenience for a larger family or guests.
