This Uncommon Property, tucked between two tree-lined streets in one of Pasadena's most storied neighborhoods, a 1923 duplex, offers a rare blend of vintage character, flexibility, and upside. Each unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, in-unit laundry, and central air — one unit up, and one down, giving each residence its own sense of privacy and separation. A driveway and a two-car carport provides convenient off-street parking for both units.
What truly makes this property uncommon are its bonus spaces: a professional music studio and a dedicated movement studio. Buyer, be sure to verify permitted uses and any rental potential with the City of Pasadena; — whether rented out to musicians, instructors, or creatives, or used to generate revenue alongside the residential units themselves. Combined with the two rental units, this property offers flexible live/work possibilities; buyer to verify permitted uses. This property presents multiple income opportunities under one roof, making it a compelling option for gifted owner-users looking to offset their mortgage. Outside, thoughtfully placed trees and shrubs frame the grounds, creating inviting areas for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. A newer roof, replaced within the last 5 years, per seller, adds peace of mind for years to come, helping to preserve the integrity of this 1923 gem. Great nearby access to a library, the Rose Bowl, Old Town, Huntington Hospital and the park across the street. Whether you're drawn to its historic charm, its income potential, or its rare live/work flexibility, this Pasadena duplex is a special find in the Fair Oaks/Orange Grove neighborhood, where properties like this rarely come available.
