Description
A Pasadena Property with Room to Live, Grow, and Invest.
Set above the street with a welcoming presence, this is the kind of property that surprises you the moment you arrive. What first appears to be a duplex reveals itself as something much more special: two beautifully updated residences that feel like true homes.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved by the current owners since 2017, the property has been updated from top to bottom. Recent improvements include refreshed kitchens, updated flooring and paint, newer appliances, dual-pane windows, HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, foundation earthquake retrofitting, landscaping enhancements, and numerous additional upgrades designed to make ownership easy for years to come.
Every improvement was made with an emphasis on quality, comfort, and long-term durability, creating a property that’s as functional as it is inviting.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer hoping to offset your mortgage with rental income, searching for flexible multigenerational living, or looking for a turnkey Pasadena investment, this property offers a rare combination of versatility and pride of ownership.
The elevated setting creates a sense of privacy, while the low-maintenance design lets you spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying everything Pasadena has to offer.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family is proud to say that the third generation is now attending John Muir High School Early College Magnet in Pasadena, CA—and with good reason. This school has been a pillar of excellence, growth, and opportunity for our family and the entire community.John Muir High School Early College Magnet is truly a gem. Over the past several years, it has consistently delivered on its promise to provide both a strong high school education and the incredible opportunity for students to earn college credits—many even graduate with multiple Associate of Arts degrees by the time they finish high school. That’s right: students are leaving Muir not just with their high school diploma, but with college degrees in hand. This is a game-changer for families and students alike.The dedication of the teachers, staff, and administrators is second to none. They are passionate, supportive, and deeply invested in the success of every student. The programs here go beyond academics—they build character, confidence, and real-world skills.We are deeply grateful to have such an innovative and forward-thinking school in our community. John Muir High School Early College Magnet continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for our family, and we look forward to seeing future generations thrive here.Other Review1y ago - Octavia E.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExtremely chaotic. Students are disrespectful to teachers. Have little concern for learning. At times kids are running around wild. Feel that teachers don't really care about the situation or just feel things are just out of control.Other Review4mo ago - Washington Accelerated Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been at WESM now for 3 years and could not be happier. The staff and teachers are all very caring and my son with learning disabilities is enjoying school and loves the teachers. They have a new Environmental Sciences program that he especially loves as he gets to work with materials like clay, and recycled materials, and 2nd grade classes are working in groups to build tiny sustainable cities, and learning about the materials they can use. They also have a new Spanish Language program that also deals with the culture of different countries, and he can now tell you all about the Bolivian Salt flats and more! They are adding some really engaging murals for the kids to enjoy, the playground is getting upgrades, and some native trees have been planted that will add more natural shade for the kids in years to come. They have a stem lab and math lab also, have upgraded their phonics and language curriculums, are a community school and have a dedicated staff member for that along with social workers, RSL, speech therapists, Special Ed classes with amazing teachers and more. A new PTA has been created and the school also does monthly family fun nights to engage the community. We are looking forward to the next 3 years at Washington Elementary Stem Magnet.Parent Review2y ago
