Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1979, this property has undergone significant cosmetic updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features freshly painted cabinets with modern hardware, updated countertops, and functional white appliances. The bathroom has also been updated with modern fixtures, vanity, and subway tile. Flooring throughout (hardwood/laminate and tile) and paint appear fresh and well-maintained. While not a full, high-end renovation, and some elements like windows appear older, the key areas are in good condition with no immediate renovations required.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Scenic Mountain Location: Nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains, the property offers a desirable setting surrounded by natural beauty.
Upgraded Kitchen: The kitchen features modern finishes, enhancing the home's appeal and functionality for daily living.
Versatile Studio Space: A delightful studio provides flexible use as a sitting room, library, or creative retreat, adding significant utility.
Convenient Accessibility: The home boasts easy access to shopping, dining, and major freeways, enhancing daily convenience.
Strong Value Proposition: The current list price is below the estimated market value, offering potential immediate equity for a buyer.
Cons
Limited Size and Layout: With only 900 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the property may be too small for many prospective buyers, particularly families.
Age of Property: Built in 1979, the home is over 40 years old, which could imply potential for aging systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) requiring future maintenance or updates beyond the kitchen.
History of Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original listing suggest challenges in market absorption or initial overvaluation, potentially signaling buyer hesitation.
