Description
Located in highly sought-after South Pasadena, 901 Bonita Ave presents a rare opportunity to reimagine and restore a home that's full of potential. The charming front porch sets the scene for the character details throughout the home such as hardwood floors, tile bathroom and kitchen counters, hallway built-ins, and period door knobs & light fixtures. Inside, a spacious living room is filled with natural light from a large bay window and serves as the central gathering space of the home. Just beyond, an archway connects the living room to the dining area and kitchen, creating a layout with great flow for everyday living and entertaining. The home features two bedrooms, including one positioned near the front of the home with views overlooking the yard below, and a second bedroom tucked privately down the hall with a walk-in closet and separate entrance, ideal for guests, a home office, or creative workspace. A hallway bathroom with original tile and a shower over tub adds convenience, while the kitchen provides direct access to the backyard staircase below. A large basement area offers substantial storage or future possibilities and an attic provides additional storage space. The backyard includes a covered patio with pergola and mature privacy hedges that create a comfortable outdoor setting. Located on the south end of town, near local parks, schools, shopping, dining, and convenient freeway access, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to restore this home and make it your own.
