Nestled in the Monterey Hills, opportunity abounds in this lovely mid-century modern retreat located in the award-winning school district of South Pasadena. Built in 1951, this home features an open floor plan with newly refinished hardwood floors in the spacious living room and dining area, from where you can take in the views of the San Gabriel mountains through wall to wall windows. Or relax on your front outdoor deck under the shade of a stately mature oak tree to enjoy the views, as the large corner lot affords maximum privacy. This is an ideal starter home with two bedrooms (one a master suite with fireplace and sitting area), and two bathrooms. Note: Kitchen and bath redesign will require plumbing and electrical system upgrades. Two-car garage needs structural upgrades / retaining wall support. Bring your contractor and start envisioning your future dream home. The upside potential on this house is tremendous so don't miss out on this diamond in the rough.
