Brand new to the market is this 1955 Palmer &
Krisel-designed home in Allied Gardens in Hacienda Heights, CA. With three
bedrooms and two baths in 1,200 square feet, this home includes a detached
garage and an in-ground pool all on a 6,100 square-foot lot and carries an
asking price of $480,000.

| Front of home |
 |
| Corner side of home |
The front of the north-facing home features huge mature pine
trees, set in a front lawn which has recently become another drought victim.
The home sits on a corner lot, with the detached garage sited in the backyard
of the home accessed from the corner side of the home. The home generally
retains original features out front, with original four-pane front windows most
noticeably modified with air conditioner retrofits.

| Dining room |
Inside the home, the living and dining rooms sit at the rear
of the home, overlooking the backyard. The living room features a modified
flush fireplace with east-facing clerestories above. The original floor-to-ceiling
windows in the living and dining room have been shortened and replaced with
small, square white vinyl retrofits, which cut down on the amount of natural
light entering the south-facing room.

| Original floating island between kitchen and dining |
The kitchen sits at the front of the home open and adjacent
to the dining room. Most of the cabinetry is original, along with tile countertops,
sink, faucet and floating island. All appears to be fairly well-preserved after
61 years of use.

| Master bath with original vanity and medicine cabinet |
The master bedroom sits off the entry at the front of the
home, and shares a jack-and-jill bathroom with the entry hall. The master
bedroom still includes its original clerestories, while the master bath still maintains
its original marble vanity and medicine cabinet. The secondary bedrooms sit on
the west side of the home, along with the guest bath, adjacent to the kitchen
and dining rooms. The guest bath has been updated with newer fixtures and
vanities, indicative of a big-box store renovation.

| Pool and fire pit |
The backyard is relatively small in size, with the swimming
pool occupying most of the yard. A severely cracked patio surrounds the pool,
with a rough-appearing fire pit sited between the back of home and pool. The detached two-car garage occupies the rest
of the backyard, which backs up to adjacent Haliburton Road.
This midcentury home just needs an infusion of modernism,
with creative solutions to both the front and rear yards, and lack of central
air needing to be solved.
