Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1914, while updated, an older home may still present unforeseen maintenance challenges or require further investment in systems not explicitly mentioned as modernized (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond cosmetic).
ADU/Zoning Verification Required: The description states 'buyer to verify with city' regarding ADU potential and R6 zoning, indicating that realizing these benefits is not guaranteed and may involve additional time, cost, and due diligence for the buyer.
No Explicit Mention of Central Cooling: For a large, updated home in Pasadena, the absence of explicit mention of a central air conditioning system could be a perceived drawback, especially during warmer months, potentially requiring future installation.
