Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1983 (41 years old), the property falls into the 'Fair' category due to its age and dated exterior/entry elements. While it features cosmetic updates like fresh interior paint and newer laminate flooring that make it move-in ready, the lack of a comprehensive recent renovation to the kitchen, bathrooms, and core systems (HVAC/Electric) keeps it from a 'Good' rating.
The 1,466 sq ft multi-level floor plan features soaring vaulted ceilings and skylights, creating an exceptionally bright and airy living environment that feels larger than its footprint.
Nestled in the serene Monterey Hills, the property offers a tranquil retreat with scenic treetop views while maintaining close proximity to Highland Park, DTLA, and Pasadena.
The residence boasts rare indoor-outdoor flow for a townhome, featuring two private balconies and a spacious patio area perfect for entertaining and enjoying the hillside vistas.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =696254, other record lot size in square feet = 696046.
The monthly HOA fee of $712 is relatively high, which may impact buyer affordability and increase the overall monthly carrying costs compared to other area options.
The third bedroom lacks a closet, which may require additional investment for a wardrobe or construction to be fully utilized as a traditional bedroom, potentially affecting future resale value.
