Property Description
For the homeowner: hidden behind a lush natural hedge, this early-1900s classic feels like a scene from a romantic movie, complete with its own Romeo-and-Juliet balcony and walls of windows that pour in natural light. Approx. 3,426 SF with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, ready for a full renovation, plus a sweeping backyard with room for ADUs or limitless potential to shine.
For the investor: preliminary 8-unit plans are ready to go, with potential for 20+ units through state density bonus incentives for affordable housing . The City confirmed in 2021 that the home is not a historic landmark, giving you the flexibility to redevelop.
Villa Parke is one of Pasadena's most walkable neighborhoods, minutes from the cafés, boutiques, and dining of Old Pasadena, the Metro A Line, and the 210, with Caltech, JPL, ArtCenter, and Huntington Hospital nearby. Lots like this rarely come to market. Schedule your private showing before this dream to be opportunity is gone.
