Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1927, the property is functional and move-in ready but features dated renovations likely completed 15 to 25 years ago. The kitchen contains older oak cabinetry and basic appliances, while the bathrooms show aging tile work and fixtures. The presence of textured ceilings, older window frames, and significant deferred maintenance in the pool area (green water and worn concrete) aligns with the 'fair' criteria of a home that is maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8128, living area = 1536.
The property is ideally situated near the historic Rose Parade route, Caltech, and the Shops on Lake Avenue, offering exceptional walkability and access to world-class amenities.
The generous 8,128 sq ft lot includes a large swimming pool and a rare pool house, providing a private outdoor oasis perfect for entertaining and family gatherings.
As a structure built in 1927, the property may require ongoing maintenance or updates to aging systems common in homes of this era to meet modern efficiency standards.
At nearly $1.3M for 1,536 square feet, the price per square foot is relatively high, which may be a significant consideration for buyers looking for more interior living space.
