Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located minutes from Claremont Country Club, Temescal Lake, Trader Joe's, freeway access, and top-rated schools (including a 9-rated elementary and 10-rated high school nearby), offering convenience and a desirable lifestyle.
Cons
Multi-Level Layout: The 4-level structure, while offering distinct spaces and views, may present accessibility challenges or be less appealing to buyers preferring fewer stairs or single-level living.
Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple substantial price drops from its original listing, which could signal market resistance, initial overpricing, or a perceived lack of value at higher price points.
Limited Traditional Yard Space: While featuring multiple view decks, the 5200 sqft lot size for a 4-level home may result in limited flat, usable traditional yard space, which could be a drawback for buyers seeking a larger outdoor area for recreation or pets.
