This Spacious Front-Unit Townhome represents a Prime Investment Opportunity, listed at $699,000—positioned well below the $713,524 Fair Market Value by 2%. This valuation gap offers $14,524 in Instant Equity for buyers. Currently holding a Fair Condition Rating, the property features soaring ceilings, a private patio, and two balconies in the sought-after Michigan Park community. Situated within the Whittier Union High School District, it balances lifestyle perks with clear appreciation potential. This is an ideal match for Owner-Occupants or first-time buyers.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993, this 31-year-old property falls into the fair category as it exceeds the 20-year age threshold without mention or visual evidence of a recent full renovation. While the exterior and grounds appear well-maintained in aerial and street-view photos, the lack of interior images and the description's focus on original architectural features rather than modern upgrades suggest the kitchen, bathrooms, and fixtures are likely functional but dated.
As a front-unit townhome, this property offers enhanced privacy and a layout that mimics a single-family residence, which is a rare and highly sought-after feature in the Michigan Park community.
The interior boasts soaring ceilings, an open-concept living area, and 1,684 sq ft of living space, creating an airy, modern atmosphere filled with abundant natural light.
With two large balconies and a private patio accessible from the kitchen and dining areas, the home provides significant outdoor living space rarely found in standard condo units.
Despite the balconies and patio, the property lacks a traditional enclosed backyard, which may be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing private green space for pets or play.
The property is subject to HOA regulations and shared-wall living, which may deter buyers looking for the complete autonomy and privacy of a detached single-family home.
