Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1922 property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it shows signs of its age through a choppy, non-traditional layout and a mix of updated and dated features. While the main kitchen has been updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, other areas—such as the secondary kitchen/laundry space with older tile counters and the basic bathroom vanities—remain dated. The inclusion of unpermitted garage conversions and visible wall heaters, despite the addition of some modern mini-split AC units and double-paned windows, aligns with the 'fair' condition criteria for an aged home with partial updates.
The property is situated on a generous 6,842 sq. ft. R2 zoned lot, offering significant upside for developers or investors to add a second unit or ADU.
The floor plan provides exceptional flexibility with a master suite, a large permitted patio for gatherings, and multiple bonus rooms suitable for home offices or studios.
Located minutes from Mark Keppel High School and the 10 Freeway, the home features a lush private orchard with a wide variety of mature fruit trees.
The garage conversion into two functional rooms is unpermitted, which may pose challenges for financing, appraisals, or future city compliance.
The modification of an original bedroom into two separate spaces and the age of the 1922 structure may result in a choppy layout that requires modernization.
