Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1937, the home is described as having 'original charm' and a 'vintage stove,' indicating the kitchen and likely the bathrooms are dated (>20 years old). While the interior appears well-maintained with clean hardwood floors, the non-functional spa and lack of mentioned updates to major systems suggest it needs minor repairs and modernization.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Location
Situated in a highly desirable Monrovia neighborhood near Old Town, the property offers stunning mountain views and convenient access to local dining, shopping, and the Metro A Line.
- Development Potential
The generous 7,055-square-foot lot and detached garage provide a significant opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or future home expansion.
- Historic Character
Built in 1937, this home features timeless charm, including a working vintage stove and light-filled living spaces that preserve its classic architectural appeal.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Non-Functional Amenity
The existing in-ground spa is currently non-functional, requiring the buyer to invest in repairs or removal to fully utilize the backyard space.
