Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

This 1929 Monterey Colonial is in move-in ready condition and has been meticulously maintained. The property features an updated kitchen with a center island, wine refrigerator, and modern cabinetry, alongside stylishly updated bathrooms. While the home retains its historic architectural character such as beamed ceilings and crown moldings, the gleaming hardwood floors and functional updates to major living areas indicate a high level of upkeep without the need for immediate renovation.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Architectural Heritage and Character

    This 1929 Monterey Colonial on an iconic Altadena street retains its grand historical charm with beamed ceilings, crown moldings, and a signature full-length second-story balcony.

  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow

    The residence is designed for entertaining, featuring French doors in every main-floor room that open to an expansive brick patio and lush gardens with mature fruit trees.

  • Modernized Functional Spaces

    The home balances vintage appeal with modern utility, including an updated chef's kitchen with a wine refrigerator and a dedicated home office with its own brick fireplace.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Pricing Strategy History

    Multiple price reductions from the original $3.2M listing down to $2.799e+06 may indicate initial overvaluation and could lead to buyer concerns regarding market days-on-site.

  • Bedroom-to-Square-Footage Ratio

    With 3,380 square feet of living space, the three-bedroom configuration may be perceived as a low bedroom count for families seeking more private quarters in this price bracket.
