Arvin Haddad, known as the How to Buy Mansion Guy, takes a critical eye to a property that has lingered on the market for a staggering 9 years, dubbing it a "gem" despite its extensive time for sale and numerous price slashes. The house's ostentatious entrance, featuring a door reminiscent of a creation by Jacob the Jeweler and Mediterranean-style handles, sets the tone for the questionable design choices found throughout. Inside, the formal living room is marred by a cramped layout and unattractive finishes, leaving much to be desired in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
Moving through the property, Haddad highlights the presence of multiple living areas that seem to compete with each other rather than complement the overall design. The location in Beverly Hills is commended for its natural light but criticized for the challenging slope of the lot, which limits the potential for outdoor space. The kitchen is found to have lackluster finishes and an outdated trash compactor, further adding to the property's overall lack of appeal in terms of modern amenities and design sensibilities.
As the tour continues, Haddad uncovers additional shortcomings such as a basement with subpar finishes and a movie theater that falls short of expectations. The property's layout is deemed confusing and lacking in cohesiveness, with design choices that seem haphazard and disconnected. Throughout the critique, Haddad's disdain for the property's finishes and design decisions is palpable, painting a picture of a mansion that fails to live up to the grandeur one would expect in the exclusive enclave of Beverly Hills.
