Property is move-in ready.
The property features a 2011-built rear residence (15 years old) and a well-maintained 1912 front house. Both units are equipped with modern central HVAC systems and individual metering. While the front unit shows some dated bathroom tiling, the overall condition is move-in ready, functional, and falls within the 10-20 year age/renovation bracket for the primary structures.
The rear unit, built in 2011, offers 1,800 square feet of contemporary living space with modern safety features like fire sprinklers and an attached two-car garage.
Both residences are individually metered for gas, water, and electricity, significantly reducing landlord overhead and simplifying property management.
With a total of 7 bedrooms across two distinct units, this property provides exceptional rental upside and flexibility for owner-occupants or multi-generational families.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3000, other record living area = 2736.
The front residence was built in 1912, which may require more frequent maintenance and updates compared to the modern 2011-built rear unit.
A rapid price reduction from the original $1.5M listing suggests the property may have been initially overvalued for the specific NW Pasadena sub-market.
