The oversized two-car garage also includes its own sink, providing existing plumbing, workshop. Whether you’re envisioning multi-generational living, rental income, guest quarters, creative workspace, or future upgrade, this property truly checks every box. One address, unlimited imagination.
Beyond the main yard, a private extension tucked behind the garage offers a hidden outdoor space, your very own secret garden.
Steeped in history, loved by one family for generations, and filled with classic Pasadena charm, this character-rich home is ready for its next beautiful chapter.
