Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1937 and held by the same family for decades, the property is well-maintained and functional but significantly dated. While the interior appears clean and staged, the age of the structure and the listing's suggestion to 'renovate or build' indicate that the kitchen, bathrooms, and core systems likely require updates to meet modern standards.
Situated in the prestigious San Marino Unified School District near Lacy Park and The Huntington Library, offering unmatched neighborhood prestige and long-term investment stability.
The expansive 10,871 sqft lot and generous 3,135 sqft footprint provide a rare canvas for a high-end renovation, expansion, or the creation of a custom dream estate.
Built in 1937, the home retains timeless 1930s craftsmanship and architectural grace, featuring a light-filled floor plan that is highly sought after in the San Marino market.
Having been held by the same family for decades, the property likely requires significant capital expenditure to modernize systems, utilities, and finishes to meet contemporary luxury standards.
The current list price reflects a substantial increase from its recent prior sale, which may limit the immediate upside for investors or buyers looking for a value-add opportunity.
