More Insights
Built in 1938 (87 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1938, this property has undergone significant and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern flat-panel cabinets, granite/quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing virtually new. The flooring throughout is a consistent, modern wood-look tile or laminate, and the walls are freshly painted in neutral tones with updated lighting fixtures. While the exact renovation date isn't specified, the style and condition suggest an extensive renovation within the last 5-10 years, likely around the time of the last sale (7 years ago). This aligns with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years, with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear, even if some underlying older systems from the original build might still exist.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in Glendale's desirable Chevy Chase/E. Glenoaks area, offering excellent proximity to shopping, dining, schools (Glendale Unified), and major transportation routes.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as a 'beautifully maintained home,' suggesting move-in readiness and care by previous owners, reducing immediate buyer concerns about deferred maintenance.
Functional & Bright Interior: Features a 'comfortable layout with plenty of natural light,' a 'spacious living area,' and a 'well-designed kitchen with ample storage and functionality,' enhancing daily living.
Generous Outdoor Space: A 'nicely sized yard' (5983 sqft lot) provides valuable outdoor living space for relaxation, entertaining, or gardening, a significant asset in urban environments.
Broad Buyer Appeal: Positioned as ideal for 'first-time buyers or looking for a low-maintenance home in a great neighborhood,' indicating its suitability for a wide range of prospective purchasers.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1938, the home's age, despite being well-maintained, may raise concerns about the condition of underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) if not recently updated, potentially leading to future capital expenditures.
Lack of Views: Explicitly stated as having 'None' for views, which could be a disadvantage in a market where properties with scenic outlooks often command higher values and are highly sought after.
High Price Point for Size/Bedrooms: The list price of $1,149,000 for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1259 sqft home, even in a desirable Glendale neighborhood, may be considered premium, potentially limiting the pool of eligible buyers. The recent price reduction from $1,199,000 could suggest initial overpricing.
