Property Overview: 228 S Mentor Ave Pasadena, CA has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,816 living square feet and 11,010 square feet lot size. Call an Ardent Real Estate Group agent with any questions you may have.

Agent Remarks: This property presents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an 11,010 SF lot with an existing duplex, in the heart of Pasadena's South Lake Avenue business district. South Lake is known for its major office plazas, dining, and shopping options, all of which are steps away from the property. In addition, the site is ideally located just blocks from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and not far from other Pasadena districts such as the Playhouse District and Old Town Pasadena. The front unit (230) abounds with early 1900's character and craftsman details such as a welcoming front porch & wood siding, hardwood floors, crown moulding, and built-in features in both the living room and dining room. The adjacent kitchen leads into a large laundry room with washer/dryer hookup and laundry sink. Both bedrooms are large and are connected by a full bathroom with a shower over tub. The back unit (228) has one bed, one bath, and a large back patio area and is currently tenant occupied. The oversized yard features room for at least 4 cars, an open patio, garden boxes, shed & garage (used for storage by owner) & an abundance of open space that is only limited by your imagination. This incredible opportunity won't last long!
