Call your contractors! You're gonna need them for this single level, 1925 English Tudor Cottage FIXER in West Pasadena's coveted San Rafael neighborhood! It features high barrel ceilings, hardwood floors, and an original vintage full bath. Technically it's a 2 bdrm, but the spacious den/office could be a great 3rd bdrm. It has mostly original features except for the 60s gas range, an added half-bath & some newer dual-pane vinyl windows. This home needs and deserves extensive work from top to bottom, inside and out; but its charming curb appeal, large front and rear yards, idyllic neighborhood, and sweet location will make it worthwhile. It has so much potential! In case you're looking for them, the 50 gal electric water heater and natural gas gravity furnaces are located in the sub-basement - small access door in bkyd. The roof age and material are both unknown. TRUST SALE, selling AS-IS.
