Welcome to this beautifully updated property, located in the highly sought-after historic Bristol-Cypress neighborhood of Pasadena. This unique offering includes three addresses—523, 525, and 527 Lincoln Ave—and sits on nearly a quarter-acre of prime land, providing incredible potential. Each of the three properties has been fully renovated with new flooring, fresh paint, and an upgraded electrical system throughout. The main house features two spacious bedrooms and one well-appointed bathroom, creating a modern and comfortable living space. At the rear of the property, you'll find a duplex, with each unit offering 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a cozy living area. All three properties will be delivered vacant, presenting an excellent opportunity to live in one and rent the other two, or simply capitalize on this fantastic income-producing asset. Located just a short stroll from the iconic Rose Bowl and offering easy access to Pasadena's trendy restaurants, shops, and vibrant downtown area, this property is perfectly situated in a highly desirable neighborhood. The expansive lot also offers future development potential, with the possibility to build additional multi-unit structures at the rear. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity in one of Pasadena's most coveted locations.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
