Great home on a prime street with character on a corner lot that’s easily walkable to Trader Joe’s, Orange Grove Park, Farmer’s Market, the Metro Rail, Arroyo Vista Elementary and tons of shops and restaurants. First time on the market in nearly 50 years! This is a well maintained 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home built in 1923 and updated and expanded for the present. Newer dual pane insulated windows throughout for increased insulation and noise reduction. There is a large kitchen with extra dining space and a newer large garage which may be a candidate for an ADU. Cute covered porch area off the sliding glass door in the dining room. There is a wooden deck with a retractable shade cover in the back for outdoor dining as well. This is a rare home in the popular flat part of South Pasadena in an amazing neighborhood with South Pasadena schools. Don’t miss out on this one – it might not be for sale again for another 50 years.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
