Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940 and under the same ownership for over 20 years, the property is well-maintained but dated. While it features fresh paint, new carpet, and central HVAC, the kitchen and bathrooms likely haven't been renovated in over 20 years. The presence of an unpermitted second bathroom and older built-ins suggests a need for modernization and potential permit correction.
Elementary School: Carver Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Foothills Middle School (9/10). High School: San Marino High School (10/10).
