About this home

A Pasadena Property with Room to Live, Grow, and Invest. Set above the street with a welcoming presence, this is the kind of property that surprises you the moment you arrive. What first appears to be a duplex reveals itself as something much more special: two beautifully updated residences that feel like true homes. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved by the current owners since 2017, the property has been updated from top to bottom. Recent improvements include refreshed kitchens, updated flooring and paint, newer appliances, dual-pane windows, HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, foundation earthquake retrofitting, landscaping enhancements, and numerous additional upgrades designed to make ownership easy for years to come. Every improvement was made with an emphasis on quality, comfort, and long-term durability, creating a property that’s as functional as it is inviting. Whether you’re a first-time buyer hoping to offset your mortgage with rental income, searching for flexible multigenerational living, or looking for a turnkey Pasadena investment, this property offers a rare combination of versatility and pride of ownership. The elevated setting creates a sense of privacy, while the low-maintenance design lets you spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying everything Pasadena has to offer.
