Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1981, this property is in livable condition but shows significant signs of age. While the living areas feature updated laminate flooring and the kitchen has stone countertops, the kitchen appliances are dated, popcorn ceilings are present throughout, and the bathroom retains an outdated light soffit and older cabinetry. It meets the criteria for 'fair' as a maintained but aged home requiring cosmetic updates.
Centrally located in Monterey Hills with quick access to Downtown Los Angeles, Old Town Pasadena, and major educational hubs like USC Health Sciences and Cal State LA.
The complex offers a resort-style lifestyle with a pool, spa, fitness center, clubhouse, dog park, and secure gated parking within landscaped grounds.
Includes two tandem parking spaces and a very spacious private patio, providing significant functional value and outdoor living space rarely found in urban condos.
