This Uncommon Property, tucked between two tree-lined streets in one of Pasadena's most storied neighborhoods, a 1923 duplex, offers a rare blend of vintage character, flexibility, and upside. Each unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, in-unit laundry, and central air — one unit up, and one down, giving each residence its own sense of privacy and separation. A driveway and a two-car carport provides convenient off-street parking for both units.
