Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1938, the home is well-maintained with fresh paint and some updates like new French doors and a partially renovated primary bath. However, the kitchen is explicitly noted as needing upgrades and the second bathroom remains in original vintage condition, fitting the criteria for a dated property requiring modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9921, living area = 1569.
Situated in the highly coveted Mission District of San Marino, this property offers access to the renowned San Marino School District and proximity to upscale shopping and dining.
The generous 9,921 square foot lot features a deep rear yard, providing an ideal canvas for a home expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
With only two bedrooms, the current configuration may be restrictive for larger families or buyers seeking dedicated home office spaces.
While well-maintained, the kitchen and vintage bathrooms require updates to meet modern luxury standards, necessitating additional post-purchase capital investment.
