    What's special

    This single-story English cottage attributed to architect Charles Ruhe sits on an 11,000+ square foot (assessor) flat lot and is surrounded by other multi-million dollar homes near the Rose Bowl in Pasadena's Prospect Park National Register District. It has had system updates, but is cosmetically outdated. It is the lowest list price in Prospect Park since June, 2003. It is a prime opportunity to renovate or possibly expand with rear construction. The current home is bolted, with upgraded electrical, plumbing and heating. There are many quality features still intact, such as original windows, wood beams and hardwood flooring. The backyard offers room for a pool. A two-car detached garage is well positioned towards the rear of the property. A prefabricated family room occupies a portion of the central courtyard and is permitted. This is a great home for an owner occupant who wishes to create a customized look.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
