This property has undergone a comprehensive and recent renovation, as explicitly stated in the description ('New remodeled house with new flooring, kitchen, windows, roof, HVAC, landscaping, concrete yards, gates and fences'). The images confirm a modern aesthetic with new light wood-tone flooring, fresh paint, recessed lighting, and contemporary fixtures throughout. The kitchen features new dark wood cabinets, white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (range, hood), and a stylish backsplash. Bathrooms are also fully updated with modern subway tiling, frameless glass showers, and new fixtures. Despite the original build year of 1952, the extensive renovation means all visible components and major systems are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards and presenting as move-in ready with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Renovation: The property has undergone a comprehensive remodel, featuring new flooring, kitchen, windows, roof, HVAC, landscaping, concrete yards, gates, and fences, offering a move-in ready experience.
Top-Rated School District: Located within the highly desirable Temple City Unified School District (rated 8+/10), making it very attractive for families.
Versatile Accommodation: Offers ample living space with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a bonus room (potential 5th bedroom), and large storage, providing flexibility for various family needs.
Development & Investment Potential: The property presents potential for splitting into two homes (supported by two driveways) and is highlighted as a high ROI investment due to its prime location near affluent cities like San Marino, Pasadena, Arcadia, and Temple City.
Prime Location & Convenience: Boasts a convenient location with easy access to shopping, dining, hospitals, parks, freeways, and other essential amenities.
Cons
Price History Indicates Market Resistance: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $1.388M to the current $1.298M suggest the property may have been initially overpriced or is facing challenges in attracting buyers at its current valuation.
Older Original Construction: Despite extensive renovations, the house was originally built in 1952, meaning the underlying structure and foundation are over 70 years old, which could imply potential long-term maintenance considerations beyond the recent updates.
Absence of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'None' for views, which might be a drawback for buyers seeking aesthetic benefits or panoramic vistas in a competitive market.
