About This Home

As of August 2020

Welcome to 544 N Mar Vista, a craftsman home with a 1bed | 1bath guest-unit, nestled near the historical neighborhood of Bungalow Heaven, in Pasadena. One of a kind, built during the arts & crafts period, with character and design. Main house features 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, recently remodeled with new flooring throughout, freshly painted, updated kitchen with granite counter-tops, open to the living area. 3 of the bedrooms in the main house share a full bathroom, and fourth bedroom has its own bath. Guest-unit / In-law suite completely private and detached from the main house features 1 bedroom, 1 bath, small kitchen with a counter bar open to the living area; living space for this unit is about 650 sqft. Long driveway leads to a detached, two-car garage and an additional storage space, both with great potential to convert into additional square footage to the existing guest-unit; making it 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. There is a laundry porch next to the garage, with a seating area. Large lot with 8,178 sqft, 50 ft width x 163 depth, zoned RM32 for multi-family with plenty of parking space. Location of this property is key, near Old Town Pasadena, Pasadena City college, the shops on Lake Avenue, Target, Whole-Foods and the 210 freeway.
