    What's special

    History, charm, and income! Welcome to this character-filled, three-unit property on Fairview Avenue in South Pasadena. This area is considered a walker's paradise and is in the heart of the Library/Mission West district. It offers a wonderful opportunity for a savvy buyer to purchase a well-maintained a vacant income property. The garage space could be converted into an ADU to create a 4th unit and there would still be 2 parking spaces on the Oxley side of the property. This home has been in the family since the sellers' grandparents lived here. They built the second structure over the garage in 1948. The sellers and their mother attended El Centro school two blocks up which was originally built in 1885. It is about to be developed into an amazing multi-use property called Fairview Court. The existing school building will be repurposed into shops and restaurants and the old Auditorium will become a live music venue. There is so much to do and see in this lovely community including the award-winning Farmer's Market on Thursdays 3 blocks away, shopping, restaurants, vintage boutiques, music/arts festivals and, of course, the South Pasadena Public Library and Senior Center which is right across the street. The Metro Gold Line is 3 blocks away. The South Pasadena Unified School District is top-rated. The school district serves over 4600 students in K-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 24 to 1. All 5 South Pasadena schools have received 'Most Distinguished' awards and are Blue Ribbon schools.Yes, this was a filming location for the 1978 film 'Halloween,' as the house of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis.) If you watch the film you'll recognize the infamous stoop that Jamie Lee Curtis sat on, holding a pumpkin.Unit #1 is a large 1-bedroom suite with bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, utility room, basement and a large, charming river rock porch. Unit #2 has 2 beds and 1 bath and kitchen and unit #3 has 1 bed and 1 bath, living room and kitchen. Each of the 3 units has picturesque windows and lovely views of the surrounding trees and neighborhood. The 2-car garage faces Oxley St. There is a separate laundry room that is shared as well as a shared back patio perfect for barbecues. There is a fruit-bearing avocado tree that was planted by the sellers' grandfather in the 1940's.This exceptional property is a wonderful place to live, work, and play in one of the most desirable communities in greater LA.
