Fair
Built in 1962, this property shows signs of partial updates in some areas, such as newer tile flooring and vanities in the bathrooms, and laminate flooring and fresh paint in at least one bedroom. However, dated elements like older windows, light fixtures, and the presence of a window AC unit suggest a lack of central cooling and potentially older major systems (plumbing, electrical). The large workshop/garage space appears raw and unfinished. While some cosmetic updates have been made, the property's age and the implied need for substantial system and aesthetic upgrades, coupled with the absence of a visible modern kitchen, indicate it is aged but maintained, requiring further investment to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Generous Lot Size: The property boasts a substantial 12,192 sqft lot, offering ample outdoor space for landscaping, potential expansion, or the addition of amenities.
Family-Friendly Layout: With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the residence provides a practical and spacious layout suitable for families.
Desirable School District: Located within the highly-regarded Temple City Unified High School District, a significant draw for families prioritizing education.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $1.65M to $1.585M indicates seller motivation and could present a more attractive entry point for buyers.
Renovation/Development Potential: Built in 1962 on a large lot, the property offers considerable potential for buyers to undertake significant renovations, expand the existing structure, or explore redevelopment opportunities to add value.
Cons
Significant Overpricing: The current list price of $1.585M is 17% higher than the estimated property value of $1.3M, which could deter potential buyers and prolong market time.
Age of Property: Constructed in 1962, the home is likely to require substantial updates to its systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and aesthetics to meet modern buyer expectations, incurring additional costs.
Lack of Premium Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' indicating an absence of desirable scenic views that often contribute to property value and appeal in the market.
