Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1964, has undergone significant cosmetic updates including modern wood-like flooring, fresh paint, and a 'modern kitchen' with quartz countertops and stylish backsplash. However, the kitchen appliances are white and appear dated (especially the electric coil range), and one of the bathrooms features very dated pink tiled shower walls, indicating an incomplete renovation. While move-in ready and well-maintained, these outdated elements require minor updates to meet contemporary standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location: Ideally located in Pasadena's vibrant South Lake Avenue District, offering immediate access to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Significant Financial Incentives: Features a substantial price reduction and the seller is covering six months of HOA dues, providing immediate savings for the buyer.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Access to a pool, spa, BBQ area, and on-site laundry facilities within the prestigious Villa California community.
Bright Top-Floor Unit with Views: A single-level, top-floor unit boasting abundant natural light from large windows and skylights, a private balcony, and breathtaking mountain views.
Updated Interior & Modern Comforts: Equipped with a modern kitchen featuring quartz countertops, stylish wood-like flooring throughout, central heat & air, and elevator access.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $825.00 is considerably high, impacting monthly ownership costs.
Building Age: Constructed in 1964, the building is over 50 years old, which could lead to higher maintenance costs for common areas or potential for less modern building systems over time.
Single Assigned Parking Space: Only one assigned parking space is provided, which may be insufficient for households with multiple vehicles, despite the availability of guest parking.
