Property Description
Back on Market through no fault of the Seller.
Rare opportunity in a prime Pasadena location for investors, developers, and buyers looking to create value.
This property offers a true blank canvas in a highly desirable area near The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, and some of Pasadena's most established neighborhoods. Surrounded by character homes and long-term ownership, this property presents exceptional potential for renovation, restoration, or redevelopment.
Located just one block from the world-famous Rose Parade route, the property offers convenient access to dining, shopping, entertainment, and local amenities. Scenic mountain views and a distinctive fireplace add to its unique character and appeal.
Opportunities in locations like this are becoming increasingly rare. Ideal for buyers seeking long-term upside and the chance to transform a property in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods.
Buyer to independently verify all information, permits, and potential uses, including expansion, redevelopment, and ADU possibilities, with the City of Pasadena and applicable agencies. Property sold AS-IS.
