    What's special

    One bathroomTwo bedrooms
    Charming home presents a rare opportunity to own property in the highly desirable East Pasadena neighborhood at an accessible price point. With a touch of vision and thoughtful updates, it holds wonderful potential as both a comfortable residence and a valuable investment. The home features three bedrooms and two bathroom, with an estimated living space of 1000 square feet. One of the bedrooms and one bath were added without permits (approximately 286 square feet of the 1000 estimated) by the owner. While the addition was completed to quality standards, it remains unpermitted, and the buyer will be required to assume responsibility for obtaining the necessary permits in accordance with City of Pasadena requirements. Both bathrooms have been recently remodeled, offering a blend of modern comfort within a home rich in history. Lovingly owned by the same family since 1954, the residence carries a legacy of care and memories. Owner peacefully passed away in the home. Near dog park and walking trails, this is more than just a property, it is an opportunity to create something special in one of Pasadena’s most sought-after communities. Bring your imagination and make this house your home.
