Turn key condition house + development potential = Living in a dream house while building a dream! One of the closest suburb from Downtown LA, the historic Garvanza / Highland Park area is young professional, trend setter's delight! Move in ready! Remodeled interior, wooden fence and long driveway with wooden car port. Yet it gets better.... owner/user development opportunity in your own backyard. Rare RD2 zoning, potentially 3 units allowed on this lot. An architectural plan was drawn in 2019, to propose 2 more units in the spacious back lot. Current house is 2 bed 2 bath, engineered wood floor throughout, granite countertop, stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet space. Newer dual pane windows great for energy efficiency. Wooden back patio extends outdoor living in the huge backyard with fruit trees. Many newly constructed properties added modern vibes to this street. Located in between downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena, this trendy neighborhood is right next to South Pasadena, where well maintained estate properties and dining and shopping options are the signature of this vibrant community. Easy commute, convenient access to freeways (110 Fwy, 5 Fwy, 210 and 134). Walking distance to park, elementary school and bus stop, Dash. Close to Arroyo Seco Golf Course and other entertainment in Pasadena such as restaurants, shops, art galleries.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
