Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property shows excellent pride of ownership with a well-maintained exterior, manicured landscaping, and a clean pool area. However, as a 1932 build with no mention of a recent comprehensive renovation, it likely retains older systems and dated interior finishes. While the description notes a 'well-appointed' kitchen, the lack of modern material callouts (like quartz or stainless steel) and the 'Aging Infrastructure' warning in the analysis suggest the home is a well-kept vintage property that will eventually require updates to meet modern standards.
The R3 zoning on a generous 8,564 sq. ft. lot offers significant investment value for potential redevelopment or the addition of multiple units in a high-demand area.
Located within the highly desirable Temple City Unified School District, this property ensures strong long-term value and appeal for families seeking top-rated education.
With three bedrooms plus two additional bonus rooms not included in the official square footage, the home provides exceptional versatility for home offices or guest quarters.
Built in 1932, the property may require significant updates to its core systems and structural elements to meet modern building standards and efficiency.
