Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1936, features a recently installed central AC system, which is a significant update. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are notably outdated with 1980s/90s style cabinets, basic countertops, older fixtures, and dated lighting. The hardwood floors show wear, and the living room carpet appears old. While functional and maintained, these key areas require substantial cosmetic renovations to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with functional yet outdated major components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Central Location: The property boasts an excellent central Alhambra location, offering walkability to Valley Blvd's diverse shops and restaurants, and convenient access to schools, parks, and major freeways.
Significant ADU Potential: A permitted garage addition and back alley access provide a strong foundation for developing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering substantial value addition and potential rental income.
Recently Installed Central AC: The recent installation of a central AC system ensures modern comfort and eliminates a significant upgrade expense typically associated with older homes.
Charming Architectural Style: The Spanish style architecture provides unique character and strong curb appeal, appealing to buyers seeking a home with distinctive historical charm.
Valuable Basement Space: An approximately 220 sqft basement offers versatile additional space for storage, utility, or potential future finishing and customization.
Cons
Property Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1936, the home may require ongoing maintenance and updates to systems or features (beyond the AC) that are not explicitly mentioned as recently renovated.
Existing Pool as Potential Liability: The mention of pool demolition 'per request' suggests the existing pool might be an undesirable feature for some buyers, potentially incurring additional costs and effort for removal or renovation.
Limited Interior Modernization Details: Beyond the central AC, the property description lacks specific details on recent updates to key interior areas like the kitchen or bathrooms, which may be expected by modern buyers.
