Temple City, California 91780
This Spanish-Style Value-Add Asset is listed at $968,888, reflecting the extreme inventory scarcity of this high-demand neighborhood. While the price exceeds the $893,414 Fair Market Value, the property’s Poor Condition Rating offers a substantial opportunity for forced appreciation. Occupying a 6,788 sqft Corner Lot with Mountain Views within the prestigious Temple City Unified School District, the location ensures long-term equity growth. This 1931 structure requires a full-scale modernization to unlock its maximum ROI, making it an ideal strategic project for Fix-and-Flip Investors or Contractors.

Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1931, this property is nearly a century old and shows minimal evidence of significant modern renovations. The kitchen is severely outdated with black and white checkered flooring, old cabinets, a dated green tile backsplash, and no visible modern appliances. The living areas also feature older finishes and fixtures. Given its age and the lack of apparent updates over the last 60+ years, major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are highly likely to be outdated and require substantial rehabilitation to meet current standards and comfort, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
The property boasts an unbeatable location near top-rated schools, major attractions like Santa Anita Mall and Park, and excellent freeway access (10, 605, 210), enhancing convenience and desirability.
A highly desirable Spanish-style home, offered for the first time in over 60 years, presenting unique architectural character and potential for historical value.
Situated on a generous 6,788 sqft corner lot, providing ample outdoor space, enhanced curb appeal, and potential for future expansion or extensive landscaping.
Built in 1931, the home is nearly a century old, suggesting a high likelihood of outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and a need for significant renovations to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property's functionality is significantly constrained, potentially limiting its appeal to larger families or those requiring more modern living arrangements.
At 1,163 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest, which might feel cramped for some buyers, especially considering the generous lot size, and could necessitate expansion for increased comfort.
