Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1951 traditional home has been meticulously maintained by the same family for 57 years, but remains largely in its original state. While it features some key functional updates like energy-efficient windows and a new heater, the kitchen, bathrooms, and overall interior styling are significantly outdated and do not meet modern standards. The property is clean and livable ('lovingly cared for'), but the age of the major systems and finishes suggests it is best suited for a major renovation or as a building site for a new custom home, fitting the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but functional.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8702, living area = 1846.
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac within the award-winning Arcadia Unified School District, this property offers exceptional long-term value and access to top-tier education.
The rare 885 sq.ft. attached 4-car garage and expansive driveway provide unparalleled utility for car enthusiasts, storage needs, or potential RV parking.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1846, other record living area = 1792. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Having been held by the same family for 57 years, the home likely requires a substantial capital investment to update its original finishes and systems to modern standards.
While the property features a new heater, there is no mention of a central cooling system, which is a critical expectation for luxury buyers in the warm Arcadia climate.
