Welcome to this cozy English Tudor cottage home nestled on a quiet flowering tree-lined street in the charming Mission District of San Marino. Step through the inviting front door from the covered front porch into the home’s open main living space. The home brings an instant sense of comfort and serenity from views of the lush neighborhood greenery and the private rear yard. Situated to the left of the entry is the living room filled with natural light from the large picturesque windows and adorned with built-in shelves to either side of the fireplace. A spacious dining area made for hosting flows seamlessly to a comfortable sitting area by the large glass sliding doors that extends living as well as entertaining into the covered patio in the rear yard. A newer updated kitchen with granite counter top, newer cabinetry, stainless finish appliances, and laundry room sits on one side of the home. Three versatile bedrooms run along one side of the home. Front guest bedroom features built in storages that could double as sitting benches with view of the neighborhood. A large full bathroom equipped with double sinks and a corner bathtub separates the guest from the primary bedroom. Warm afternoon sun fills the good-sized primary bedroom that adjoins the third bedroom. The adjoining bedroom is an ideal extension of the primary and may serve as office, den, or nursery. Ample off-street parking is available along the gated driveway that leads to the one-car detached garage at the rear of the lot. The garage has many shelves for storage. A shaded and gated backyard with improved landscaping for privacy is the perfect retreat from the daily hustle. Furthermore, the home is conveniently located close to restaurants and cafes on Mission St, the Lacy Park, the Huntington Library, markets, banks and other essentials. The home features newer tile roof, new vinyl flooring, and fresh interior paint but it awaits a new owner’s vision and personal touches. Distinguished San Marino Schools. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to be part of this coveted neighborhood!

Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1924, benefits from several significant recent updates including a newer updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, new vinyl flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and a newer tile roof. These updates make the majority of the home move-in ready. However, the main bathroom, while functional with double sinks, features a dated green corner tub and older tile, indicating it has not been recently renovated and would require future updates to align with modern aesthetics. The half bath is basic. Despite the dated main bathroom, the extensive updates to key areas like the kitchen, flooring, and roof elevate its condition beyond 'Fair', making it a well-maintained, move-in ready home with some components updated, but not a full recent renovation.

Cons

Age of Property (1924): While charming, the 1924 construction date suggests potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly updated, which may require future investment or maintenance.
Requires Further Personalization: The description notes it 'awaits a new owner’s vision and personal touches,' indicating that while some updates are present, additional customization or renovation may be desired to fully modernize or align with buyer preferences.
Modest Interior Size: With 1306 sqft for 3 bedrooms, the interior living space might be considered compact for some buyers in the San Marino market, potentially limiting appeal for those seeking larger homes.
