This single family residence is a fusion home in the hills of South Pasadena with sweeping mountain and valley views. Once the caretaker's residence to a larger estate, this property was later expanded to serve as a church. It has been through many stages of preservation and modification over the decades, and is now offered as an opportunity for someone willing to take on a design/build project with incredible potential. Measured at 4,021 interior square feet on a lot in excess of 32,000 square feet, this property has had significant structural improvements. There is still much to do. Assessor's data shows 4 beds/1 bath with square footage at 2,869 sq'. The large lot includes flat space below the residence as well as considerable rear up-slope land. The lower level of this property includes a series of tandem bedrooms, a 3/4 bath and a brick floored enclosed sun room with a fire place. This property may be subject to South Pasadena historic preservation guidelines. It is close to Metro Gold Line rail service.

Large home on a lot accessed by a shared driveway with a bed and breakfast. Home needs significant work done. Was initially a guest house, turned into a church, then back into a home. Many items incomplete and repairs need to be done throughout....
Large lot with loads of potential for the right kind of investor.
