Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1929, the home features some cosmetic updates including newer laminate flooring, fresh paint, and refreshed kitchen cabinetry with stainless appliances. However, the property relies on dated systems (window AC units and wall heaters), and one bedroom shows significant floor damage/patching. It is functional and move-in ready but requires modernization of systems and minor repairs.
The property is ideally situated within walking distance to Downtown Covina and the Friday Farmers Market, providing exceptional access to local dining, shopping, and community events.
This 1929 Spanish-style residence offers timeless charm and a functional layout, including desirable vintage details like a cozy breakfast nook and a pantry.
The inclusion of a dedicated bonus room provides significant flexibility, allowing the space to serve as a home office, guest room, or creative studio to suit the buyer's needs.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms and a bonus room, the layout may pose a challenge for families or those who frequently host guests.
