More Insights
Built in 1947 (79 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1947, features recently updated kitchens and bathrooms in both units, along with modern wood plank style ceramic tile flooring throughout, making the interiors move-in ready. While the major interior components are updated and functional, the presence of window AC units instead of central air conditioning, and some visible wear on exterior elements like the garage, prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating. The renovations appear to be within the 5-15 year timeframe, aligning with the 'Good' criteria.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the heart of Pasadena, offering excellent proximity to shopping, dining, Pasadena City College (PCC), and Caltech, enhancing desirability and rental appeal.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a multi-family duplex, it provides immediate residential income potential with two separate, detached units, ideal for investors or owner-occupants seeking rental offset.
Updated Interiors: Both units feature updated kitchens and bathrooms, along with modern wood plank style ceramic tile flooring, reducing immediate renovation needs for new owners.
Ample Parking & Storage: A long driveway, two-car garage with storage space, and additional guest parking, plus an extra storage room for the rear unit, provide significant practical value.
Separate Utilities & Private Yards: Each unit benefits from separate gas and electric meters, simplifying tenant billing, and private, fenced backyards, offering desirable outdoor space.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1260, other record living area = 1194.
Age of Property: Built in 1947, the property's underlying infrastructure may be older, potentially leading to future maintenance or upgrade requirements for systems not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Compact Unit Sizes: The units are relatively small (710 sq.ft. and 550 sq.ft. for 1-bedroom units), which might limit the tenant pool or perceived value compared to properties with larger living spaces.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not indicate the presence of a cooling system, suggesting a lack of central air conditioning, which can be a significant drawback in Pasadena's climate.
