Inside, original hardwood floors, a welcoming living room with fireplace, and an open layout oriented toward backyard views provide the perfect starting point for transformation. Natural light fills the home, while abundant storage and an entertainer-friendly flow create a strong architectural foundation for what comes next. The deep lot unfolds into a backyard retreat featuring a pool and spa, ready to be revived into a true gathering space for sunny California days and relaxed evening entertaining. Adding to the appeal, the oversized garage with approximately 14-foot ceilings opens the door to endless possibilities ideal for a workshop, studio, collector space, or potential future ADU opportunity (buyer to verify). Surrounded by pride-of-ownership homes and conveniently close to the dining, shopping, and charm of San Marino, South Pasadena, and the greater San Gabriel Valley, this is a rare opportunity in one of Alhambra s most desirable neighborhoods. Ready for its next chapter, this home isn t just a project it s a canvas for vision, creativity, and lasting value in an exceptional setting.
