About this home
Situated in the heart of Pasadena, CA, this 12-unit apartment building presents a value-add opportunity, for a patient investor, in one of the most sought-after locations in the city. Boasting a Walk Score of 93, you are near by Cal Tech, Pasadena City College and The Shops on Lake. Built in 1960, this two-story walk-up building is being marketed for the first time in over 40 years. Comprising a mix of 4 one-bedroom/one-bathroom units and 8 two-bedroom/one-and-three-quarter-bathroom units, this property caters to a diverse range of tenants. Each unit features a balcony or patio (except for unit #1, which is the largest 1-bedroom unit), gas forced air heating, and wall air conditioning units. The kitchens are equipped with gas stoves and ovens, tiled countertops and tiled or linoleum floors, while the bathrooms have tiled or linoleum floors and vanities. Living rooms and bedrooms are carpeted. Although interiors have not been upgraded, there is immense potential for renovation and value enhancement. The property is individually metered for gas and electric, with the owner paying for hot water, gardening, trash, and common area electricity. Two 75-gallon hot water heaters serve the building, ensuring ample hot water supply for residents. Parking is provided with 17 tuck-under spaces located below the building; seismic retrofit will need to be done. Additionally, there is space available for a laundry room, offering an opportunity for added convenience and income generation.
