Two distinct houses on the same lot but with separate addresses have come on the market in South Pasadena’s coveted Marengo neighborhood for $2.6 million.
A fence separates the houses, which are listed as a duplex but they are not.
The oldest is a Colonial Revival, built in 1926. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and high-end upgrades throughout, including built-in bookcases, an Italian marble fireplace and a custom steel door from the gourmet kitchen with its top-of-the-line appliances to the garden.
A cantilevered steel pergola shades the outdoor dining space.
Off the pea gravel driveway, a red front door beneath a gabled portico opens into the living room, which has direct access to a sunroom.
The living room connects to the dining room, which is on the same level as the kitchen, a breakfast room and the primary suite. A bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet complete the suite.
Upstairs, the secondary bedrooms share an updated bathroom, and one of the bedrooms has a balcony.
On the other side of the backyard fence is a Normandy-style home with one bedroom and two bathrooms. The property’s original owners built it in 1940.
Its original features include a sundial portico over the front door and the Colonial-style wood-burning fireplace in the living room.
The house has its own entrance and an attached two-car garage with a back door.
“The large property currently has its own captivating garden, but should one connect the two homes’ grounds, the landscape design opportunities would be endless,” the listing reads.
Jennifer Parker-Stanton and Jake Lazere of Compass hold the listing.
The property is within walking distance to South Pasadena schools, Garfield Park and Fair Oaks Avenue and downtown hubs like Heirloom Bakery & Cafe, Fair Oaks Pharmacy & Soda Fountain and the weekly farmer’s market on Thursdays.
