Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1926 storybook home is well-maintained and retains significant historic character, but it is largely in original condition. With only one bathroom featuring period tilework and a kitchen/laundry area described as needing 'reimagining' and 'restoration,' the property is functional but outdated by modern standards. The listing explicitly mentions the need for 'patience and love' to restore it to its former glory, fitting the criteria for a property that is aged but maintained through regular upkeep without recent major renovations.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8857, living area = 1766.

  • Historic Architectural Integrity

    This 1926 storybook residence preserves rare authentic details, including a striking Batchelder tile fireplace, original hardwood floors, and vintage glass knobs, offering timeless character that is highly coveted in Pasadena.

  • Significant Value-Add Potential

    The oversized attic and expansive laundry room provide a clear path for expansion, offering the opportunity to add a second bathroom or additional living square footage to increase the home's market value.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Bathroom Count

    With three bedrooms but only one full bathroom, the current configuration may be a significant drawback for modern families and is below the typical expectations for a property at this price point.

  • Restoration Requirements
