Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1939, this property has received recent cosmetic updates including fresh interior paint and light-toned flooring throughout, giving it a move-in ready appearance. The kitchen features updated white cabinetry, granite countertops, and a stainless steel range, appearing functional and clean, likely updated within the last 10-15 years. However, the property's age (1939) strongly suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely original or were last updated many decades ago, and are not explicitly mentioned as being renovated or within their expected lifespan. No bathrooms are shown, which is a significant omission. While cosmetically appealing, the underlying older infrastructure means a buyer should anticipate potential substantial repairs or updates to major systems in the near future, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
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 = 7595, living area = 1362.
Large Lot with ADU Potential: The expansive 7,595 sq ft lot offers significant room for expansion and the potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), adding future value and flexibility.
Desirable Location & School District: Located in the highly regarded San Gabriel School District with convenient access to local markets, dining, shopping, the San Gabriel Country Club, Pasadena, and DTLA.
Move-in Ready with Modern Updates: Features fresh interior paint, light-toned flooring, and a bright, functional kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, and a second sink, providing a clean and inviting atmosphere.
Versatile Bonus Room: A dedicated bonus room at the rear of the home with backyard access and natural light offers flexibility for various uses such as an office, family room, or play area.
Ample Parking & Mature Landscaping: A long driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, complemented by a peaceful backyard retreat featuring mature kumquat, orange, lemon, and magnolia trees.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7595, other record lot size in square feet = 7494.
Older Construction: Built in 1939, the property's age suggests potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) that may require future updates or maintenance, despite cosmetic renovations.
Smaller Interior Square Footage: At 1,362 sq ft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, especially when considering the generous lot size.
Virtual Staging: The use of virtual staging for bedrooms may create potentially misleading expectations for buyers regarding the actual appearance and size of the rooms when empty.
