Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1990, is well-maintained and spacious, but its interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and main living areas, show signs of being outdated. The kitchen features dark granite countertops and backsplash, with a mix of stainless and older black built-in appliances, and a dated pendant light fixture. The entryway and living room flooring, a diagonal tile pattern with small dark squares, also reflects an older style. While functional and clean, these elements suggest the home has not undergone an extensive modern renovation within the last 10-15 years, aligning with the 'Fair' category's criteria for properties built over 20 years ago that are maintained but show outdated features and may require minor updates to meet current standards.

Age of Construction: Built in 1990, the property may require modernization or updates to compete with newer luxury homes in the area, despite being custom-built.
Absence of Scenic Views: The property does not offer any notable views (e.g., ocean, city lights), which can be a disadvantage in a high-value coastal market like Santa Monica.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $7.495M is slightly above the estimated property value of $7.27M, suggesting it may be perceived as overpriced by some market analyses.
