Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1925, the home shows significant evidence of thoughtful maintenance and modern updates. The interior features recessed lighting, refinished hardwood floors, and bathrooms that have been renovated with period-correct subway tile and updated fixtures. The overall condition is move-in ready and appears to have been updated within the 5-15 year range.
Situated on one of South Pasadena's most prestigious streets, the property offers proximity to top-rated schools and the city's unique charm, significantly boosting long-term value and desirability.
This 1925 residence features exceptional curb appeal and timeless Arts & Crafts details, including a signature tile fireplace and period windows that blend classic aesthetics with modern updates.
With four spacious bedrooms and a primary suite featuring a sunlit sitting room, the 2,585-square-foot layout provides ample flexibility for a home office, reading nook, or nursery.
The 5,762-square-foot corner lot is relatively small for the $2.6M+ price point, which may limit outdoor entertaining space or future expansion potential compared to other luxury listings.
Having sold for $2.35M in late 2023, the current list price reflects a substantial increase in a short timeframe, which could invite scrutiny regarding market valuation and appraisal consistency.
Exceptional curb appeal and a prominent corner-lot setting create a memorable first impression at 1700 Diamond Avenue, a timeless residence on one of South Pasadena's most beautiful streets. The home blends classic architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, offering a sense of light, space, and presence that is hard to find. The living room is anchored by a rare and pristine "Batchelder Fireplace" and surrounded by large period windows that bring in natural light throughout the home. In the kitchen, a bay window above the sink adds to the home's bright, open feel. The floor plan flows naturally, with spacious living, dining, and entertaining areas designed for modern living. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer beautiful views of the tranquil surroundings. The primary bedroom includes a sunlit sitting room, ideal for an office, reading area, or additional vanity space. Located near South Pasadena's top-rated schools, and just moments from all that give South Pasadena its beloved charm, 1700 Diamond Avenue is a rare opportunity to own a home with true character and enduring appeal.
