Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1941, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer-upper' requiring 'extensive renovation.' While the main living areas appear clean with hardwood floors, the overall condition, particularly the implied state of the kitchen and bathroom (no photos provided for the main house, and the guest quarter shows very dated features like a window AC and basic cabinetry), indicates a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. Major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely original or very old, necessitating significant updates to meet modern standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8627, living area = 1088.
Great Schools: Middle School: Rosemont Middle School (9/10). High School: Crescenta Valley High School (9/10).
Premier Location: The property is situated in a highly desirable Glendale location, enhancing its long-term value and appeal.
Generous Lot Size: An expansive 8,627 sqft lot provides ample space for significant expansion, landscaping, or potential redevelopment.
Detached Guest Quarter: Includes a separate guest quarter, offering versatile options for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.
High Value-Add Potential: Positioned as an ideal opportunity for investors, builders, or savvy buyers to remodel, expand, or develop a custom residence.
Unique Market Offering: Described as a rare find due to its combination of lot size and location, suggesting strong demand and limited competition.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is explicitly a 'fixer-upper,' indicating a need for substantial investment and renovation to modernize and optimize its potential.
Dated Construction (1941): Built in 1941, the home likely requires comprehensive updates to its systems, finishes, and overall infrastructure to meet contemporary standards.
Modest Current Footprint: The existing 1,088 sqft, 2-bed, 1-bath layout is relatively small, suggesting that most buyers will need to undertake an expansion to maximize the property's value and utility.
