More Insights

Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1953, is explicitly described as 'move-in-ready' with a 'newly installed roof' and 'freshly painted' interiors, indicating recent significant maintenance and cosmetic updates. The living areas feature well-maintained hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and modern light fixtures (e.g., dining room chandelier). The kitchen, while not fully contemporary in style (cabinet design, granite pattern, tile flooring), is functional, clean, and equipped with stainless steel appliances, suggesting it was updated within the last 15-25 years. The overall condition, including the exterior and pool area, appears well-kept with minimal wear and tear. While the kitchen and likely the bathrooms could benefit from a more modern aesthetic renovation, they are fully functional and do not require immediate repair, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with well-maintained systems and some updated components, even if not a full recent renovation.

About this home

This isn't just a house. It's a move waiting to be made. Right in the heart of Upper Hastings Ranch a neighborhood people fight to get into you'll find a freshly painted, move-in-ready opportunity disguised as a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a den, formal dining room, and sun-filled eat-in kitchen. It's built for real life comfort when you want it, space to entertain when you need it. The newly installed roof has been completed. That sparkling pool out back? It's not just for summer. But here's the real leverage possibility. The sellers have already laid the groundwork with the City of Pasadena. Plans are in motion for a bold expansion: 125 sq. ft. on the first floor, and a 770 sq. ft. second story--taking you to a total of 2,486 sq. ft. of living space, plus a 411 sq. ft. garage. What does that buy you? A jaw-dropping double-height entry that pulls you in from front to back. A sleek new powder room for guests. Upstairs, a master retreat that feels like a high-end spa, plus an additional en-suite bedroom.This isn't just a home, it's a play for the future. And it's waiting for someone who knows how to make a smart move. Are you that person? Must See!

Desirable Amenities: Includes a private sparkling pool, a dedicated den, and a formal dining room, enhancing lifestyle and entertainment options.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1953, the property may have underlying older systems or infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as updated, potentially leading to future maintenance or upgrade costs.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: No mention of a central cooling system, which could be a significant discomfort and added expense for installation in Pasadena's warm climate.
Additional Investment Required: While expansion plans are approved, realizing the full value and increased living space requires a substantial additional investment and construction effort from the buyer.
