Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, the home is functional but dated. While it features a modern mini-split HVAC addition, the interior retains older parquet flooring, an original-style wood-paneled ceiling, and a bathroom with 15-20+ year old finishes. The listing's suggestion to 'use your imagination' and the presence of an old wall heater indicate the property needs cosmetic updates and minor system repairs.
Situated in a coveted Monterey Park neighborhood, the property offers a 15-minute commute to DTLA and access to the highly-rated Alhambra Unified School District with a 10/10 rating.

The property features stunning panoramic and city light views, including a peek-a-boo view of the Los Angeles skyline, which adds a premium feel and increases long-term investment value.
