    What's special

    Rare opportunity in a prime Pasadena location for investors, developers, and buyers ready to create value. This property offers a true blank canvas in a highly desirable area near The Huntington Gardens, San Marino, and established Pasadena neighborhoods. Surrounded by character homes and long-term ownership, the setting provides strong upside potential for those looking to renovate or reimagine. Just one block from the iconic Rose Parade route, with convenient access to dining, shopping, and local amenities. Scenic mountain views and a unique fireplace design add to the property's character. Opportunities in this location are increasingly limited. Ideal for buyers seeking long-term value and ready to act. Buyer to verify all information, permits, and potential uses including expansion or ADU possibilities with the City of Pasadena and County of Los Angeles. Property sold as-is.
