Despite being built in 1920, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations between 2019 and 2025, including a modern kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances (new refrigerator in 2025), a stylish bathroom with updated tiling and plumbing, new interior/exterior paint, a newer water heater, and a replaced porch roof. The hardwood flooring is well-maintained, and the overall condition is virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, making it move-in ready.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Renovations: Comprehensive updates since 2019, including a modern kitchen, stylish bathroom, new plumbing, newer water heater, and fresh paint (interior 2025), ensuring a truly move-in ready condition.
Prime Pasadena Location: Situated on a peaceful, tree-lined street with excellent access to major freeways (210/134), the Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, parks, and local amenities.
ADU Potential & No HOA: The property offers significant value-add potential with space for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and the financial benefit of no Homeowners Association fees.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Features a private, fully fenced backyard with a spa hot tub, drought-tolerant landscaping, and an inviting front porch with 'breathtaking mountain views'.
Functional & Charming Interior: Maximizes its compact footprint with a spacious bedroom, large walk-in closet, and integrated built-ins throughout, adding character and practical storage solutions.

Cons

Compact Living Space: At 608 sq. ft. with only one bedroom and one bathroom, the property offers limited living area, which may restrict its appeal to a broader market.
Absence of Garage: The original garage was removed to install a back porch, resulting in a lack of covered parking and dedicated storage space, which can be a drawback for many buyers.
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive renovations, the home's 1920 build year may present potential long-term maintenance considerations for elements not explicitly updated.
