The property, built in 1961, has undergone a significant and recent interior renovation, as evidenced by the 'new flooring, designer finishes, and gourmet kitchen with sleek countertops and new cabinetry.' The images confirm a modern, high-quality kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and contemporary finishes. The flooring throughout the visible living areas and bedrooms is new and stylish. However, the listing notes the 'Age of Core Systems (Potential)' and, critically, the 'Absence of Central Cooling,' which is a significant drawback for a modern home in Los Angeles. While the aesthetic updates are excellent and make the home move-in ready, these underlying factors prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' score, which implies all components, including major systems and modern amenities like central AC, are new or virtually new and meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views & Iconic Landmark: Offers unobstructed cinematic views of the Hollywood Sign and rolling ridge lines of Griffith Park from nearly every room, providing a unique and inspiring natural setting.
Prime Los Feliz Oaks Location: Privately situated on a discrete street in the coveted Los Feliz Oaks, minutes from Griffith Observatory and scenic park trails, blending seclusion with community and accessibility.
Modernized Interior & Gourmet Kitchen: Recently upgraded with new flooring, designer finishes, and a gourmet kitchen featuring sleek countertops and new cabinetry, ensuring a contemporary and move-in ready appeal.
Functional Single-Level Layout & Versatility: An easy, single-level floor plan with flexible living and dining areas, plus a dedicated den/office, catering to diverse lifestyle needs and accessibility.
Exceptional Parking & Outdoor Entertainment: Includes a generous two-car garage plus driveway parking, a rare luxury in the Hills, complemented by a peaceful, landscaped patio with a water feature and multiple seating areas for entertaining.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1672, other record living area = 1512.
Age of Core Systems (Potential): Built in 1961, while upgraded, the description does not specify updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof), which may require future inspection or investment.
Absence of Central Cooling: The property description does not mention an air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during Los Angeles's warmer months.
Modest Lot Size: The 5,432 sqft lot size is relatively modest for the area, potentially limiting extensive outdoor expansion or additional amenities beyond the existing patio.
