Description

Welcome to 3901 Elma Road! Located in a highly desirable East Pasadena neighborhood, this listing offers a rare opportunity to own a spacious home with incredible development potential.

Sitting on a 6,835 sq. ft. lot, this 1,619 sq. ft. home, featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den, a finished attic, and a 3-car garage, was extensively remodeled and expanded in 2010. Upgrades at the time include a new roof structure, exterior stucco, drywall and insulation along with new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. With a flexible layout and ample space, it’s ready for a new owner’s vision, whether to move in as-is or modernize over time. The surrounding neighborhood is known for mountain views, newly paved streets and offers a peaceful yet convenient setting near shopping, dining and parks.

For those looking to maximize the lot’s potential, this property is a candidate for SB9 and/or ADU development, which allows owners to have up to four units on a single-family lot. Options include building a second unit on the lot, for which the current owner had previously attained ready-to-issue plans, or converting the existing interior space or 3-car garage into an ADU.

Whether you're looking for a home with room to grow or an investment opportunity with strong upside, this East Pasadena property is full of potential and a must see to appreciate!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from May 09, 2025
