Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1938, presents a mixed condition. While the kitchen has been significantly updated with premium appliances (Wolf range), Caesarstone countertops, and custom cabinets, and the main living areas feature modern aesthetics with dark hardwood floors and recessed lighting, at least one bathroom (as seen in images) is very dated with pink and teal tiles and a brass-framed shower. Furthermore, the property lacks central air conditioning, which is a significant drawback in Los Angeles. These dated elements and missing modern amenities mean the property requires minor to moderate updates and repairs to meet contemporary standards, despite being 'well cared for' in other aspects.

Zoned to highly-rated Franklin Elementary and John Marshall Senior High School.
Exceptional Views: The property boasts gorgeous, extensive treetop, hillside, city, and downtown LA skyline views from wraparound windows, multiple rooms, and balconies, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Spacious & Versatile Floor Plan: A generous 3480 sq ft residence featuring a flexible layout with distinct zones, including a large library with built-in bookshelves, a media room with a kitchenette/wet bar, and a gym/wellness space, catering to diverse lifestyle needs such as work-from-home, entertainment, and guest accommodation.

Cons

Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, strongly suggesting the absence of central air conditioning, which could be a significant comfort drawback during Los Angeles' warmer months.
Age of Property & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1938, despite being 'well cared for,' an older home may have original or aging core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that could require substantial future investment for updates or repairs not explicitly detailed.
Recent Price Reduction: The property recently underwent a price reduction from $2.695M to $2.497M, which may indicate initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially affecting buyer perception of its current value.
