Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1948 and held by the same owner since 1967, this home is a well-maintained 'time capsule.' While it features critical structural updates like a new roof (2022) and partial plumbing replacement (2025), the interior is significantly outdated. The kitchen and den retain mid-century knotty pine paneling and older appliances, and the bathrooms and flooring reflect styles from several decades ago. It is functional and clean but requires comprehensive cosmetic modernization to meet current standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • 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 = 13972, living area = 2221.

  • Exceptional Location

    Situated just blocks from downtown Sierra Madre's cafes, boutique shops, and top-rated schools, offering a highly walkable and community-oriented lifestyle.

  • Expansive Corner Lot

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Cosmetic Modernization Needed

    Offered for the first time in over 50 years, the interior retains its 1940s/60s character and requires significant updating to meet contemporary luxury standards.

  • Potential Infrastructure Risks

    As a 1948 build, buyers should anticipate potential hidden costs related to aging electrical or HVAC systems that may not have been fully modernized.

  • Market Availability

    The property is currently 'Active Under Contract,' which may limit the opportunity for new buyers to negotiate or secure the home unless the current deal fails.
