Remarks

Great opportunity to own a duplex in Pasadena offering a total of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with flexible living arrangements and investment potential. The property features spacious living areas with abundant natural light, tile and laminate-style flooring, and generously sized bedrooms. The main living space includes an open kitchen and dining area with ample cabinetry, granite-style countertops, and a large peninsula providing additional counter space. One of the bathrooms offers an oversized layout with a separate tiled shower and jetted soaking tub. Additional features include in-unit laundry, multiple dining and living spaces, and ample storage. Outside, the property offers an expansive concrete driveway and courtyard area with plenty of room for parking, along with mature landscaping and established fruit trees that provide shade and privacy. The property is being sold with the existing tenants in place and will not be delivered vacant. With two separate living units and a versatile layout, this Pasadena duplex presents an excellent opportunity for an investor looking to add a tenant-occupied residential income property to their portfolio.
