Lovely California bungalow situated on a 10,108 SF rectangular lot in a nice residential neighborhood of Pasadena. The large lot is approximately 50 ft wide by 203 ft deep with plenty of a room for the new ADU. Current owners have already secured county approval to build a detached ADU. This shovel-ready opportunity is perfect for an investor looking to build a brand-new home, or an owner-occupant who may want to construct an ADU now or in the future. The property is located just three blocks south of the Altadena Country Club and two blocks north of EF Academy, formerly known as William Carey University. With beautiful mountain views from the front porch, the existing home is approximately 1,125 SF, with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Desirable qualities of the current home include: hardwood floors, updated kitchen, and an updated bathroom. Many systems have been modernized, including the 200 AMP electrical panel, tankless water heater, copper main water line, mini-split HVAC system, and a clean-out was installed for the main sewer line. The detached garage has been improved and can function as an office, studio space or recreation room. The proposed ADU is a bungalow style SFR with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, covered porch and a large side deck. The ADU will be approximately 1,200 SF, although a buyer can potentially change the design to a 3 bed/2 bath if they prefer, since lot coverage percentages should allow for a larger front home. Another plus of this property is the ADU can be constructed in front of the existing home, which will allow for better curb appeal. The large lot easily affords generous separate parking, as well as backyards/patio areas for each dwelling. This neighborhood is appreciating quickly, since buyers are purchasing older homes and improving them, building new homes, and adding ADUs on larger lots. Don’t miss this great opportunity to purchase a large lot in a nice area of Pasadena with value-add potential.
