Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1960 and offered by the original owners, the home is exceptionally well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen features older appliances and the bathrooms retain original 1960s pink tile and fixtures. While functional and move-in ready, the property requires comprehensive cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards, fitting the criteria for a property over 20 years old needing updates.
At nearly 3,000 square feet with a five-bedroom, single-level layout, this home offers rare scale and flexibility for multigenerational living in a highly sought-after hillside community.
Situated near the top of the hill, the property features a rear deck with stunning views of city lights and mountains, providing a premium outdoor experience and increased property value.
Located in a premier Monterey Park neighborhood near the highly-regarded Brightwood Elementary School, the property combines a peaceful, park-like setting with convenient access to shopping and freeways.
Having been held by the same family since 1960, the home retains its original finishes and will require significant cosmetic updates and investment to meet modern aesthetic standards.
Given the home's age and long-term ownership, buyers should anticipate the need for modernizing core systems and infrastructure during the renovation process.
Offered for the first time since it was built, this exceptional single level residence presents a rare opportunity in one of Monterey Park's most coveted neighborhoods. Lovingly maintained by the same family for decades, this spacious 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home offers approximately 2,965 square feet of living space, an uncommon find in this highly sought after hillside community. Situated near the top of the hill, the property enjoys expansive views from the rear deck, creating the perfect setting to relax or entertain while taking in the surrounding landscape. The generous floor plan is ideal for multigenerational living, with spacious living areas and a layout that offers both comfort and flexibility. While the home retains much of its original charm and is ready for a new owner's personal updates, it has been exceptionally cared for throughout the years. Outside, beautifully manicured landscaping, and fragrant flowering trees create a peaceful, park like setting. Additional features include an attached two car garage and an unbeatable location just minutes from highly regarded Brightwood Elementary School, shopping, dining, and convenient freeway access. Whether you're looking to preserve its timeless character or transform it into your dream home, this is a truly special opportunity to own a property that has been cherished by one family for generations in one of Monterey Park's premier neighborhoods.
