Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1924, this property retains a 'vintage feel and charm' as described. While the home appears well-maintained with good hardwood floors and some updated lighting, the kitchen features significantly outdated tile countertops and traditional cabinets, despite having newer stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms are not pictured, but given the kitchen's condition, they are likely similarly dated. The property is functional and move-in ready, but requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen and likely bathrooms, to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with a renovation timeline of 15-30 years ago for key areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Brentwood Location: Ideally situated in Brentwood, offering excellent proximity to Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Westwood, and Century City, enhancing desirability and convenience.
Unique Architectural Charm: Described as a 'Storybook cottage' with a 'Vintage feel and charm throughout,' appealing to buyers seeking character and a distinctive aesthetic.
Attached Separate Guest Suite: Includes an attached separate guest suite, providing versatile space for visitors, a home office, or potential rental income.
Private Outdoor Living: Features a bright, sunny, private deck and patio, offering valuable outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
Desirable Primary Suite: The romantic primary suite boasts a vaulted ceiling and a walk-in closet, adding a touch of luxury and comfort.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential Updates: Built in 1924, the property's age may imply a need for significant updates to systems (plumbing, electrical) or modern amenities, despite its vintage charm.
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 1452 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for its high price point in the Brentwood market, potentially limiting appeal to buyers seeking larger homes.
Lack of Modern HVAC System: The description does not mention a modern cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer Los Angeles months.
