Description
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully refreshed corner-lot duplex property in one of Pasadena’s most desirable neighborhoods. Freshly painted inside and out and featuring brand-new flooring throughout, this versatile property offers the perfect blend of charm, flexibility, and future potential. The inviting main residence is currently configured with two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms. Two of the original bedrooms were combined to create one larger bedroom, offering the potential to restore the home to its original three-bedroom configuration. The residence also features central air conditioning, abundant natural light, and comfortable living spaces designed for everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to your own private backyard sanctuary, where mature hedges provide exceptional privacy and create a peaceful setting for relaxing or enjoying Southern California’s year-round outdoor lifestyle. Adding tremendous value and flexibility is a detached ADU/studio complete with its own kitchen, full bathroom with shower, and air conditioning. Recently rented for $1,850 per month, it provides a compelling example of the property’s income-producing potential. The property will be delivered vacant, giving the new owner immediate flexibility to occupy, improve, or rent the units without an existing tenancy in place. This versatile space is also ideal for extended family, guests, a private home office, creative studio, or other flexible living arrangements. According to county records, the property is identified as a duplex, presenting an outstanding opportunity for homeowners, investors, or those seeking long-term upside. Prior rent is provided for informational purposes only and is not a representation or guarantee of current or future rental income. The desirable corner lot enhances the property’s curb appeal while providing abundant natural light, a driveway with parking for up to three vehicles, and plentiful street parking for family and guests. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, schools, Old Pasadena, Caltech, the Huntington Library, and major commuter routes, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready Pasadena property offering privacy, versatility, and exceptional value. Whether you are looking for a place to call home, additional space for extended family or guests, or an investment with exciting future potential, 300 N. Carmelo Avenue is a property you will not want to miss.
