Despite being built in 1923, this fourplex has undergone extensive and very recent renovations across all units and the exterior. The description highlights a new roof in October 2023, new exterior paint, new drought-tolerant landscaping, and comprehensive interior upgrades. All units feature new kitchens with modern cabinets (shaker style), quartz countertops, new flooring (luxury vinyl wood or similar), new stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting. Cooling/heating systems have also been updated with new A/C or mini-split units. The visible interiors in the images appear virtually new, clean, and meet current quality standards, indicating minimal deferred maintenance. The property has been brought to an 'excellent' condition through these significant updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Strategic Location: Located in desirable North Alhambra, adjacent to South Pasadena and San Marino, offering excellent school access, proximity to amenities (shopping, parks, downtown), and convenient freeway access (FWY 10 & 110).
Owner-User Potential: One front unit (#312) can be delivered vacant, providing an immediate opportunity for an owner-occupant or the flexibility to set market-rate rents.
Extensive Upgrades & Capital Improvements: Most units have undergone full or partial upgrades, complemented by recent major capital improvements including a new roof (Oct 2023), drought-tolerant landscaping, and exterior paint, reducing immediate maintenance burdens.
Ample Parking & Storage: An 'overparked' property with 7 dedicated parking spaces (2 garage, 5 open) and additional storage, a significant and valuable amenity in this urban market.
Separately Metered Utilities & Single-Story Design: Electricity and gas are separately metered, reducing landlord operating expenses, and the single-story bungalow style mitigates common multi-story issues like noise or leaks.

Cons

Limited Laundry Facilities: The back duplex units lack in-unit laundry hookups, and there is no common laundry facility for the building, which could be a drawback for tenants and impact rental appeal.
Older Construction: Built in 1923, the property's age (over 100 years) may lead to higher long-term maintenance costs or potential for unforeseen structural/systemic issues despite recent upgrades.
Shared Water Meter: Water utility is not separately metered, meaning the landlord is responsible for this expense, which can be a variable and increasing operating cost.
