This is a rare opportunity to transform a property with incredible potential in a premier location known for its charm, top-rated schools, and strong community feel. The exterior of the home boasts a welcoming front porch and a beautifully landscaped front yard, framed by rose bushes and lush hedges that offer privacy and character.

The kitchen flows into a smaller dining area and has a separate room with a dry bar leading to the private backyard. A downstairs bedroom offers its own private patio with a direct view of the park, and a guest bathroom is conveniently located in the hallway. The primary bedroom is located upstairs and features an ensuite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and access to a roof deck where you can take in the breathtaking views. At the back corner of the house, you'll find a greenhouse that has been converted into a bedroom, which shares a bathroom with the converted large garage. Additionally, the property offers a driveway with space for multiple cars and a backyard studio providing even more potential, complete with its own bedroom and bathroom—perfect for guests or a home office. The property is ideally located near South Pasadena Middle School and South Pasadena High School. Additionally, you’ll have easy access to the vibrant Fair Oaks Corridor, the charming Downtown South Pasadena, and the popular Mission Street area, where you can enjoy a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options—all just a short walk or drive away.
