Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1926 and held by the same owner for over 40 years, the home is well-maintained but reflects dated aesthetics and components. The kitchen features older cabinetry and white appliances, while the bathrooms and flooring (mix of carpet and tile) show significant age. While functional and move-in ready, the property lacks recent renovations and requires cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Marengo Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: South Pasadena Middle School (9/10). High School: South Pasadena Senior High School (9/10).
- Versatile Floor Plan
The 2,209 sq. ft. layout includes a highly desirable main-floor bedroom and full bathroom, providing excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or a professional home office.
- Superior Parking Capacity
A rare find for the Alhambra area, this property features extensive parking options including a long driveway, a one-car garage, and additional gated parking spaces.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
- Likely Need for Modernization
Having been held by the same owner for over 40 years, the 1926-built home likely requires significant cosmetic and system updates to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
- Limited Yard Space
With a relatively large 2,209 sq. ft. structure situated on a 4,124 sq. ft. lot, the remaining outdoor area is modest and largely occupied by the extensive parking footprint.
