Opportunities like this don't surface often. 553-559 Lincoln Avenue is a character-rich, four-unit cottage-style property positioned in the heart of Pasadena and it arrives with one unit delivered vacant. That detail opens the door to owner-user financing: conventional loans with lower down payment requirements, better rates, and terms unavailable on pure investment acquisitions. Live in one, collect rent from three, one of the most effective wealth-building structures in residential real estate. For the investor, the fundamentals are equally strong. In-place income is stable, tenants cover gas and electricity, and landlord-owned laundry equipment adds $150-$200/month in supplemental revenue. Major capital work has already been absorbed; plumbing updates in 2023, electrical improvements within the last decade, and a roof in good standing. Upside runs through operational refinement and cosmetic improvement. Market Cap Rate near 6%. Built in the classic cottage tradition, the property carries architectural character that commands tenant loyalty and holds value in soft markets. Interiors feature hardwood and tile flooring, granite countertops, and ceiling fans. Individual wall units handle heating and cooling, keeping systems simple and maintenance contained. Walkability is a headline feature. The Metro Gold Line Station is steps away, and a grocery store, Starbucks, CVS, and major banking are within a single block. Old Town Pasadena with its concentration of dining, retail, and cultural anchors is minutes from the front door. Pasadena's strong employment base, educated renter demographic, and constrained multifamily inventory make this a market that consistently outperforms in occupancy and rent growth. 553-559 Lincoln Avenue suits a first-time buyer entering the market with built-in income, an owner-user ready to build equity, or a seasoned investor adding a low-maintenance performer to an existing portfolio. The vacant unit is the opportunity, what you do with it is yours to decide.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Linda Vista's most architecturally significant addresses. Sited atop a private road and seamlessly integrated into the hillside, this landmark mid-century modern residence was designed and built in 1961 by B. Williams in an enclave developed by S. Merendino, both faculty of the USC School of Architecture. Set on nearly one-third of an acre, the home commands unobstructed views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Pasadena City Hall, the Rose Bowl, and Brookside Golf Course. A panorama as enduring as the architecture itself. Inside, bamboo and terrazzo floors anchor a great room that opens with quiet authority. Steel, concrete, and glass create a living environment deeply connected to nature. Original 1960s details, including the oversized pivot door and steel-hooded fireplace, anchor the interior, while Fleetwood multi-slide doors open to panoramic view decks. Two primary suites are complemented by a third bedroom with an en-suite half bath below. Renovated by architect Tom Marble, the home received the Pasadena Historic Preservation Award in 2014. Marble later collaborated with the owners on the pool, spa, entertaining decks, and permaculture landscaping with Anigo Garden Design and Kelly L. Kinney.
