While built in 1940, the property is well-maintained with 50% of the units (2 out of 4) having undergone recent high-end renovations (<5 years) including modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and updated bathrooms. The exterior and grounds are in great shape, though the overall score is tempered by the presence of older wall heaters and the remaining unrenovated units.
The property features four detached single-story bungalows with no adjoining walls, providing tenants with a private, single-family residential feel that is highly desirable and easy to lease.
Situated on an expansive 13,185 SF lot, the property offers a clear path for value-add through the potential addition of four ADUs, significantly increasing the density and income potential.
Located just blocks from Old Town Pasadena and major transit hubs, the property benefits from high tenant demand due to its proximity to premier shopping, dining, Caltech, and the 210/110 freeways.
With only three garage spaces and one open spot for four units, parking is currently limited and may become a greater constraint if additional ADUs are constructed.
