Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1958, this property is a classic 'fixer-upper' or starter home. The kitchen is significantly dated with older tile countertops and cabinetry, and the listing description explicitly mentions the need for a 'personal touch' and 'potential,' indicating a lack of recent major renovations to systems or interiors.
Elementary School: Carver Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Foothills Middle School (9/10). High School: San Marino High School (10/10).

The home is located near several top-tier educational institutions, including San Marino High and Arcadia High, making it an exceptionally attractive option for families prioritizing academic excellence.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the home's configuration may present functional challenges for growing families and could impact resale value compared to multi-bath properties in the area.
At 1,156 square feet on a 5,029 square foot lot, both the interior living area and the outdoor space are relatively compact, which may limit options for large-scale entertaining or future structural expansions.
