Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1972, shows a mix of updates and original features. The living areas have modern recessed lighting and newer-looking laminate flooring, and the description mentions newer dual-pane windows and updated sliders. However, the kitchen features original-style wood cabinets and dated ceramic tile flooring, though it does have newer stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, range, microwave). The bathrooms also appear functional but dated with older vanities and tile. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, placing it in the 'fair' category rather than 'good' due to the age of these key areas and the overall age of the building (52 years old).
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unique Soundproof Studio: Features a professionally built soundproof studio in the garage, ideal for musicians, content creators, or a dedicated work-from-home space, adding significant value and versatility.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated adjacent to Toluca Woods, offering a calm, residential feel while being minutes from the NoHo Arts District, major studios (Universal, Warner Bros.), and essential amenities.
Spacious & Functional Layout: A generous 1,656 sq ft with four true bedrooms and an open living/dining area, designed to live like a private residence, providing ample space and natural light.
Low HOA & Intimate Community: Benefits from an ultra-low $250 HOA fee within an intimate 4-unit building, offering the advantages of condo living with minimal shared costs and a close-knit environment.
Recent Upgrades & Convenient Parking: Includes newer dual-pane windows and updated sliders for energy efficiency and quiet comfort, along with direct-access private garage parking plus an additional assigned space.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Building: Built in 1972, the building is over 50 years old, which may imply older common area systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or special assessments.
Condominium Limitations: As a condominium, it involves shared walls and common area dependencies, potentially leading to noise transfer from neighbors or reliance on HOA decisions for building-wide maintenance and rules.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights energy-efficient windows but makes no mention of a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during North Hollywood's hot summer months.
