Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1948, the property is described as 'move-in condition' and 'well maintained' with hardwood floors and central air conditioning. However, the visible bathroom is significantly dated with a beige fiberglass tub/shower insert, an older vanity, and dated light fixtures. The absence of kitchen photos suggests it is likely also outdated. While functional, the home shows clear signs of age and would benefit from minor updates to bring the kitchen and bathrooms to a more contemporary standard, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11462, living area = 1005.
Great Schools: Elementary School: Valley View Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Rosemont Middle School (9/10). High School: Crescenta Valley High School (9/10).
ADU Development Potential: The property offers significant value-add potential with an existing guest house (with bathroom) and an almost level pad suitable for building an additional ADU.
Large & Usable Lot: A substantial 11,462 sqft rectangular lot provides ample outdoor space and the foundation for future expansion or development.
Move-in Ready & Well-Maintained: Described as 'move in condition' and 'well maintained,' reducing immediate renovation costs for the buyer.
Desirable Interior Features: Includes hardwood floors throughout, central air conditioning, and multiple fireplaces, enhancing comfort and appeal.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in a residential foothills neighborhood with convenient access to shopping, dining, the 210 freeway, and highly-rated schools.
Cons
Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original listing, potentially indicating market resistance or initial overpricing.
Limited Interior Space: At 1005 sqft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the interior living space may be considered compact for some buyers, especially given the large lot.
Guest House Condition: While present, the guest house is currently used for storage, suggesting it may require renovation or upgrades to be fully functional as a separate living unit.
