Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1920, this property is explicitly marketed as a renovation project for investors. The interior shows significant neglect, including heavily stained carpeting, dated kitchen cabinetry, and bathrooms in a state of disrepair. Systems are outdated, evidenced by wall-mounted heaters and window AC units rather than central HVAC.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7998, living area = 1838.
With a generous 1,838-square-foot floor plan and four bedrooms, this 1920s character home serves as an ideal canvas for investors or renovators to build substantial equity through a comprehensive restoration.
The nearly 8,000-square-foot lot is a standout feature for the area, offering mature landscaping and sufficient space to explore the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for multi-generational living or rental income.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
The property is in clear need of significant repairs and modernization, which will require a buyer with substantial liquid capital and a dedicated construction team to bring it to a habitable or marketable state.
Given the 1920 build date, the home likely faces challenges common to older structures, such as outdated electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems that may need full replacement to meet current building codes.
Opportunity awaits on a charming tree-lined Pasadena street! 1622 Navarro Avenue is a property with character, space and tremendous potential for the buyer with the vision to bring it back to life.

Outside, the approximately 7,998-square-foot lot is one of the property's standout features.
