Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Roscomare Road Elementary School (9/10).
Exclusive Gated Community: Located at the end of a cul-de-sac within the coveted 15-home gated community of Encino Country Oaks, offering enhanced privacy and security.
Desirable School District: Situated in the Hesby Oaks Charter School district, which is highlighted as one of the only K-8 options available in Los Angeles, a significant draw for families.
Modern & Upgraded Interior: Features a freshly painted interior, high volume ceilings, custom lighting, walnut wood toned floors, an updated center island kitchen with quartz countertops, and luxurious primary and secondary bathrooms.
Private Outdoor Oasis: Includes a private yard with a full-sized sparkling pool/spa and dedicated outdoor living/dining areas, perfect for entertaining and relaxation.
Flexible Downstairs Suite: Offers an ideal floor plan with a versatile downstairs en-suite bedroom, perfect for guests, a home office, or with its exterior access, a potential separate entrance.

Cons

Monthly Association Fees: The property is subject to a $350 monthly association fee, which adds a recurring cost to the overall expense of homeownership.
Property Age & Potential for Original Systems: Built in 1988, the property is over 35 years old. While cosmetically updated, some major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
Ambiguous View Description: The property description mentions 'treetop vistas' and 'treetop views,' but the structured property data explicitly states 'view: None,' which could lead to differing buyer expectations regarding scenic outlooks.
