Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1954, the property is well-maintained but dated. While it features newly refinished hardwood floors, the kitchen and bathrooms show older cabinetry and fixtures (likely >20 years old) that have merely been painted. The reliance on window AC units suggests a lack of modern central HVAC systems, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category needing functional and aesthetic updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8018, living area = 1538.
The property features a rare, permitted 392-square-foot detached guest house, providing exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, a professional home office, or potential rental income.
Situated in Altadena's highly sought-after President Streets neighborhood, the home benefits from a picturesque tree-lined setting with immediate access to Eaton Canyon hiking trails and Pasadena's dining district.
