This prime investment opportunity is located in one of Pasadena's most desirable areas; convenient to stores, restaurants, public transportation, Pasadena City College, and Cal Tech. Situated on a quiet street, this property offers two separate two-bedroom, one-bath homes. The detached two-car garage adds value as parking, storage, or possible future development. This is an excellent opportunity to live in one unit while generating rental income by renting the other or to operate both homes as income-producing rentals. The front house is equipped with a floor furnace and window air conditioners. The rear house has a wall heater and a wall-mounted air conditioner. Each unit has its own in-unit laundry hook-ups. The units will be delivered vacant at the close of escrow making this a smart and versatile addition to any real estate portfolio.
