Discover a rare gem in the heart of South Pasadena–a duplex surrounded by charming homes and picturesque tree-lined streets. At the front, a classic California Bungalow awaits restoration, featuring a welcoming porch, period details, hardwood floors, central HVAC, a decorative fireplace and built-ins in the formal dining area. The spacious kitchen includes a breakfast nook with built-in benches and convenient laundry area. With three bedrooms, ample closet space, and two bathrooms, the home offers plenty of space and comfort. The nicely sized backyard is peaceful with mature fruit trees and access to a detached garage, possible potential for an ADU. The rear unit, a thoughtfully upgraded one-bedroom, two-bath charmer, features a living room with a gas fireplace framed by elegant bookcases and a bonus room (with a closet & bathroom) used as an office. The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, wood floors, stainless steel appliances, and opens via French doors to a beautifully landscaped backyard. Modern upgrades like a new electrical panel, central HVAC system, laundry nook, and tankless water heater ensure efficiency and comfort. The back home offers immediate benefit while the front bungalow awaits its revival. This property is not just a home but part of a community cherished for its beauty.
