Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property underwent an extensive expansion and renovation approximately 5 years ago, effectively modernizing the original 1951 structure. It features a contemporary kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms with modern tiling and fixtures, new HVAC systems, and high-quality flooring throughout. The addition of a 6-car garage engineered to seismic standards and a fully equipped guest studio further demonstrate that the property meets current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
A rare 6-car garage and workshop totaling over 1,300 sq ft, engineered with industrial steel H-beams and seismic-grade standards, making it a premier choice for car enthusiasts or hobbyists.
The property features a 423 sq ft lower-level guest studio with its own entrance, kitchen, and living area, providing immediate potential for rental income or private guest accommodations.
The expansive Great Room features dramatic 22-foot ceilings and oversized windows that perfectly frame the San Gabriel Mountains, offering significant aesthetic appeal and natural light.
The home's configuration as an expanded 1951 bungalow with 'potential' for further kitchen installations and room separations may feel disjointed or unfinished to traditional buyers.
The blend of a mid-century original structure with a modern, industrial-scale addition can create inconsistencies in design flow and systemic integration that may require further refinement.
