Condition Rating
Good
This 1910 Craftsman home is exceptionally well-maintained and presents as move-in ready. While the original structure is over 100 years old, the description highlights 'thoughtful updates,' and the images confirm a high standard of care and renovation. The kitchen features updated white shaker-style cabinets, modern stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher), and clean countertops, making it highly functional despite the 'period-style' checkered flooring. The bathrooms are also updated, clean, and functional, respecting the home's historic charm with classic tiling and fixtures. Stunning hardwood floors are present throughout most of the living areas and bedrooms, and are in excellent condition. Light fixtures are a mix of period-appropriate and modern recessed lighting/ceiling fans. The exterior is freshly painted and the landscaping updated. The primary factors preventing an 'Excellent' score are the property's age (1910), the noted 'Age-Related System Concerns' (plumbing, electrical) which are not explicitly stated to be fully updated, and the 'Lack of Central Air Conditioning' in Pasadena's climate. However, the visible components, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, are in very good condition, indicating significant renovations that align with the 'Good' category's criteria of being extensively renovated within 5-15 years for key areas and being move-in ready with well-maintained systems.
Pros & Cons

Historic Charm & Architectural Integrity: An enchanting 1910 Craftsman masterpiece featuring period lighting, stunning hardwood floors, classic wood molding, and built-in cabinets, preserving its original architectural beauty.
Mills Act Property Tax Reduction: The property is listed under the Mills Act, qualifying it for a significant property tax reduction, offering a substantial financial benefit to the owner.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Views: A private backyard haven with a large patio, sparkling pool, and soothing spa, perfect for entertaining and relaxation, complemented by panoramic views of the San Gabriel mountains.
ADU Conversion Potential: A bonus room over the garage, constructed approximately 25 years ago, offers potential for a 600 sqft Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, adding significant value or income potential.
Desirable Location & Accessibility: Nestled in the highly sought-after Pasadena Heights neighborhood, with easy access to shopping, local markets, renowned restaurants, the Gold Line, and freeways.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
Age-Related System Concerns: Built in 1910, while thoughtfully updated, the property may still have older major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Unconfirmed ADU Viability: The potential ADU conversion requires buyers to confirm viability with the City of Pasadena, indicating it's not a guaranteed project and may involve additional costs and approvals.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during Pasadena's hot summer months.
