Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1910, has received some cosmetic updates such as fresh paint and wood-look tile flooring throughout, which makes it appear move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white shaker cabinets and granite countertops, along with a basic black gas range. However, the bathroom is notably dated with older beige/brown tile, a basic vanity, and a sliding glass shower door. The presence of a window AC unit in a bedroom indicates a lack of central air conditioning, which is a significant drawback for 'modern convenience' in a home of this age. While some areas are updated, the overall condition suggests that major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for a 1910 build are either original or have not been extensively renovated recently, and the bathroom requires immediate updating to meet current standards. The description's mention of 'gleaming hardwood floors' is also contradicted by the wood-look tile seen in the images.
Pros & Cons

Great Schools: Elementary School: Marengo Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: South Pasadena Middle School (9/10). High School: South Pasadena Senior High School (9/10).

Gleaming Hardwood Floors: A premium interior feature that adds to the home's aesthetic appeal and value, explicitly mentioned in the description.
Generous Lot Size: The 7,426 sqft lot offers ample outdoor space and potential for landscaping or future enhancements.
Cons
Significant Price Discrepancy: The listing price of $1,199,000 is substantially above the property's estimated value of $834,689.845, potentially indicating overpricing or a need for a more detailed justification of value.
Lack of Detailed System Upgrades: While 'tasteful updates' are noted, the absence of specific information regarding major system renovations (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof) for a 1910 build could raise concerns about deferred maintenance and future expenses.
Unclear ADU/Expansion Potential: The listing does not highlight any potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or other expansions, a feature often sought after and present in comparable properties, which might limit its appeal to certain buyers.
