Searching for a Craftsman compound with updated interiors and elegant outdoor spaces? A standalone home with two separate rental income units, all delivered fully vacant? Look no further! 958 - 966 E Orange Grove Blvd comprises three separate homes on a gated lot at the southern border of historic Bungalow Heaven. Set back from the street behind a lush podocarpus hedge and an emerald green lawn, this handsome Craftsman property built in 1924 has been updated inside and out. Three individual units here are standalone structures: the front 3 bedroom + 2 bath home (1,045 SF); the back 2 bedroom + 1 bath cottage (913 SF); and the 1 bedroom + 1 bath apartment above the garage. Each dwelling includes its own private landscaped garden, and share common space in a generous central courtyard parking pad, with garage and gated driveway.The front house, sitting up from the street, enjoys privacy and a character-rich exterior with clapboard siding, traditional arts and crafts wood trim and a raised covered front porch. Inside, updates are classic contemporary: wide-plank wood tone flooring, fresh warm white walls, and natural light from every angle via dual-pane windows. The inviting living room offers leafy green views of the front yard, and flows into the updated kitchen with blonde wood shaker cabinetry and smooth concrete countertops. Two updated baths and nicely finished laundry/mud room are complemented by a magical private garden shaded by a mature Ash tree with a grassy area, dining and sitting spaces under happy cafe lights.Comfortably separated, the 2 bedroom back house sits behind, with generous living and dining spaces, flowing into the large updated kitchen, with contemporary 3/4 bath flanked by two light-filled bedrooms. A private fenced back yard with velvety lawn and shrubs is accessible via the dining room and westernmost bedroom.Finally, above the 2 car garage, the well-appointed 1 bedroom apartment enjoys tree top views with windows in all directions, updated full kitchen and bath.Central to historic Pasadena architecture, retail and shopping on Washington and Lake Avenues, with transportation conveniently close by, this is a terrific option as a multi-generational compound home with excellent income potential.
