Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1965, is 59 years old and shows significant signs of age and lack of modern updates. The kitchen features very outdated white, flat-panel cabinets, older white appliances, and what appears to be original or very old laminate countertops and tile flooring. The dining area has an old-style brass chandelier and a visible wall-mounted AC unit, suggesting a lack of central air conditioning. While the living areas have hardwood floors, they appear aged. The description explicitly states the home needs 'a touch of care and vision' and is an 'opportunity for... investors to create a truly special home,' which aligns with requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation, particularly for the kitchen and HVAC systems. No bathroom images were provided, but the kitchen alone indicates a major renovation is needed. The backyard is also unkempt. These factors place it firmly in the 'Poor' category, as major components require significant upgrades to meet current living standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Nestled in the scenic Pasadena Foothills, this home is situated at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, offering excellent access to the Rose Bowl and all Pasadena amenities.
Privacy and Serenity: The cul-de-sac location provides a rare sense of peace and privacy, enhancing the living experience.
Investment Potential: Described as an 'exceptional opportunity for first-time buyers or savvy investors,' indicating significant potential for value appreciation through customization and renovation.
Potential for Views: The property is flagged as having a view, which is a desirable feature, especially in the Pasadena Foothills.
Recent Price Adjustment: The listing price has been reduced from $899,000 to $850,000, potentially making it a more attractive option for buyers.
Cons
Requires Renovation/Updates: The description 'With a touch of care and vision' suggests the property is not move-in ready and will require additional investment for updates or renovations.
Modest Interior Space: At approximately 1,283 sq. ft., the home offers a relatively compact living area for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family residence, which may limit appeal for those desiring more space.
Smaller Lot Size: The lot size of 4,666 sq. ft. is relatively small for a single-family home, potentially offering limited outdoor living or expansion opportunities.
