Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1984, is 40 years old. While major systems like the AC unit, water heater, and garage doors have been recently replaced, the interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly outdated. The kitchen features tile counters, older wood cabinets, and dated appliances. Bathrooms have older vanities, tile, and light fixtures. Carpeting throughout appears worn. The property is functional and maintained, but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria, particularly given the 'AS IS' sale.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Marengo Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: South Pasadena Middle School (9/10). High School: South Pasadena Senior High School (9/10).
Exceptional Location & Walkability: The condo boasts an 'amazingly convenient area' in north Alhambra, with walking distance to major retailers (Target, Costco), banks, shopping centers, supermarkets, restaurants, and public transportation, plus easy access to Alhambra Park.
Commuter-Friendly Access: Strategically located just 10 minutes from both Pasadena and Downtown Los Angeles, offering significant convenience for commuters.
Recent Major System Upgrades: Key components such as the AC unit, water heater, and garage doors have been recently replaced, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a new owner.
Enhanced Privacy & Interior Appeal: As an alley end unit with only one common wall, it offers increased privacy. Interior features like vaulted ceilings, spacious bedrooms, abundant natural light, and a dedicated den add to its desirability.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: The property is located within a district with access to well-regarded schools, including South Pasadena Senior High (9/10) and nearby Park Elementary (7/10).

Cons

Sold "As-Is" Condition: The property is explicitly being sold in "AS IS" condition, which may deter buyers seeking a move-in ready home or those unwilling to undertake potential repairs or upgrades.
Monthly Association Fees: A recurring monthly association fee of $200 adds to the overall cost of homeownership, which can be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.
Price Reduction History: The recent price reduction from $750,000 to $719,999 suggests the property may have been initially overpriced or has faced challenges in attracting offers, potentially signaling a perceived value issue.
