Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1928, this property shows significant signs of deferred maintenance. Exterior images reveal peeling paint, potential wood rot on trim, and an unmaintained yard. The complete absence of interior photos, combined with the age of the home and the presence of a large shipping container on-site, strongly indicates that the interior, kitchen, and bathroom require substantial rehabilitation and modernization.

Built in 1928, this unique cottage offers a storied history as a former Hollywood actor's residence, featuring a cozy fireplace and a 'studio hide-away' vibe perfect for artists.
Centrally located with convenient access to major hubs including Burbank, Glendale, downtown Montrose, and Pasadena, making it an ideal base for professionals.
At only 520 square feet with a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the interior space is very restrictive and may not accommodate most modern lifestyle needs or growing households.
The list price of $590,000 for such a small footprint results in a high price-per-square-foot valuation, which may be difficult to justify for buyers focused on interior utility.
