Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1951, the property is over 70 years old. The MLS analysis explicitly states 'Age of Property' as a weakness, noting it 'likely requires significant updates to its systems, finishes, and overall design to meet modern standards and buyer expectations.' The absence of any interior images, especially for a property of this value, strongly suggests the interior (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, etc.) is severely outdated and requires substantial renovation. While the exterior appears maintained, the overall condition points to a need for significant rehabilitation rather than minor updates.
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 = 45738, living area = 2224.
Prestigious Location: Situated in one of the most prestigious locations in La Canada Flintridge, offering exclusivity and high desirability.
Expansive Lot Size: Over an acre of land (45,738 sqft) provides significant privacy, ample space for outdoor amenities, and potential for future expansion or development.
Desirable Mountain Views: The property boasts desirable mountain views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and overall value.
Significant Price Adjustment: A substantial price reduction from the original list price ($5.995M to $4.795M) indicates a motivated seller and potential for a more attractive acquisition for buyers.
Renovation/Development Potential: The large lot and 1951 build year present an excellent opportunity for a buyer to undertake a significant renovation, expansion, or build a custom dream home in a prime location.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1951, the property likely requires significant updates to its systems, finishes, and overall design to meet modern standards and buyer expectations.
Listing Price vs. Estimation: The current list price ($4,795,000) is higher than the property's estimated value ($4,584,456.46), suggesting it may still be priced above current market expectations.
Modest Home Size for Lot: With 2,224 sqft on an acre-plus lot, the existing home is relatively modest in size, which might necessitate extensive renovation or a complete rebuild to fully capitalize on the land's potential.
