Ideal owner-users, multigenerational living, or those seeking a unique income-producing property with long-term value and low-maintenance ownership.Originally a single-family residence, this property was thoughtfully transformed into four separate residences, creating a rare residential compound that blends modern living with strong rental appeal. The property consists of a beautifully renovated front residence, an attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit, and two newly constructed rear 2-bedroom, 1-bath residences, offering a total of four income-producing units and 3 car garage and plenty of individually private outdoor spaces.Built and redesigned with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful attention to detail, each residence features bright open-concept living spaces including new appliances (range, refrigerators, washer/ dryer) and stylish finishes throughout.

Whether occupying one residence while generating rental income from the others, accommodating extended family, or holding as an investment property, the possibilities are exceptional.Located on a picturesque tree-lined street in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods, the property offers excellent curb appeal and convenient access to Old Town Pasadena, South Lake Avenue, Caltech, Pasadena City College, parks, shopping, dining, entertainment, and major transportation corridors.With four rentable units delivered all vacant, separate utilities, and low-maintenance improvements this is an outstanding opportunity for investors and owner-users alike.
