Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1969, has undergone an extensive 'whole house remodel a few years ago,' as stated in the description. This is evident in the modern porcelain tile and hardwood flooring, updated kitchen with dark wood cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances (though the refrigerator appears older). All three bathrooms are also extensively renovated with contemporary vanities, granite, and new tiling. Central A/C and heating are present, and double-pane windows have been installed. While the renovations are significant and make the home move-in ready with no immediate needs, the specific style choices (e.g., ornate chandeliers, bold bathroom tiling) and the age of some visible appliances suggest the renovation falls within the 5-15 year range rather than being brand new (under 5 years), aligning perfectly with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Neighborhood: Situated in the prestigious Alto De Monterey area of South Pasadena, on a quiet cul-de-sac street, offering a highly desirable and safe living environment.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: The entire house was recently remodeled, featuring an open-concept layout, updated kitchen and bathrooms, quality hardwood and porcelain flooring, double-pane windows, and central A/C and heating, ensuring a move-in ready condition.
Excellent School District & Amenities Access: Located just blocks from the award-winning Monterey Hills Elementary School and a short drive to other schools, markets, shopping centers, restaurants, and Metro Rail, enhancing convenience and family appeal.
Large Lot with ADU Potential: A substantial 22,228 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space and is believed to allow for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) under California law, offering future expansion or income possibilities.
Significant Price Reduction: A recent $200,000 price drop indicates a motivated seller and potential for a quicker transaction, presenting a compelling value proposition for buyers.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: Despite extensive remodeling, the property's 1969 build year means some underlying systems or structural elements may still be original, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic updates.
Subjective Interior Design Elements: While updated, some specific style choices, such as the 'Chandeliers lighting' and 'bold bathroom tiling' noted in the condition analysis, might not align with all buyers' modern aesthetic preferences and could necessitate further personalization.
Unconfirmed ADU Status: The description states the ADU potential is 'believed to be under this Law,' indicating that the feasibility or permitting for an Accessory Dwelling Unit is not yet confirmed, requiring the buyer's due diligence and potential investment.
