Great home on a prime street with character on a corner lot that’s easily walkable to Trader Joe’s, Orange Grove Park, Farmer’s Market, the Metro Rail, Arroyo Vista Elementary and tons of shops and restaurants. First time on the market in nearly 50 years! This is a well maintained 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home built in 1923 and updated and expanded for the present. Newer dual pane insulated windows throughout for increased insulation and noise reduction. There is a large kitchen with extra dining space and a newer large garage which may be a candidate for an ADU. Cute covered porch area off the sliding glass door in the dining room. There is a wooden deck with a retractable shade cover in the back for outdoor dining as well. This is a rare home in the popular flat part of South Pasadena in an amazing neighborhood with South Pasadena schools. Don’t miss out on this one – it might not be for sale again for another 50 years.
