Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1902, this property shows its age despite being described as 'well maintained.' While the rear unit features more recent updates with white shaker cabinets, black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern tiled bathrooms, the front unit's kitchen appears dated with older wood cabinets, tiled flooring, and a bright yellow color scheme. The front unit also has older style ceiling fans and a distressed bedroom door. The presence of window AC units suggests a lack of central HVAC, and the overall age implies that major systems (electrical, plumbing) are likely original or have undergone older renovations, requiring potential future updates for modern standards. The shed, used as a dwelling, is very basic. The property is functional and livable, but significant portions are outdated and would require substantial investment to meet contemporary expectations.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Versatile Income/Living Potential
The duplex configuration, coupled with the potential for a third dwelling unit (shed conversion), offers exceptional flexibility for rental income, multigenerational living, or future development.
- Significant Development Opportunity
An expansive 9,501 sq ft R2-zoned lot provides substantial potential for expansion, adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or complete redevelopment, maximizing future value.
- Prime Pasadena Location
Located in the highly sought-after 91103 zip code, the property offers convenient access to Old Town Pasadena, the Rose Bowl, CalTech, top-rated schools, major freeways, and public transit.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Advanced Age of Structure
Constructed in 1902, the property's age suggests potential for outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and may require significant capital investment for modernization and ongoing maintenance.
- Unpermitted Dwelling Unit
The mention of a 'shed roughly used as another dwelling unit' implies an unpermitted structure, which could lead to compliance issues, permitting challenges, and additional costs for legal conversion or removal.
- Modest Interior Space for Lot Potential
With 1,484 sq ft across two units on a large 9,501 sq ft lot, the existing interior living space is relatively modest, potentially requiring significant expansion or renovation to fully capitalize on the lot's development potential and meet modern living standards.
