About 3901 Elma Rd

Welcome to 3901 Elma Road! Located in a highly desirable East Pasadena neighborhood, this listing offers a rare opportunity to own a spacious home with incredible development potential. Sitting on a 6,835 sq. ft. lot, this 1,619 sq. ft. home, featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den, a finished attic, and a 3-car garage, was extensively remodeled and expanded in 2010. Upgrades at the time include a new roof structure, exterior stucco, drywall and insulation along with new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. With a flexible layout and ample space, it’s ready for a new owner’s vision, whether to move in as-is or modernize over time. The surrounding neighborhood is known for mountain views, newly paved streets and offers a peaceful yet convenient setting near shopping, dining and parks. For those looking to maximize the lot’s potential, this property is a candidate for SB9 and/or ADU development, which allows owners to have up to four units on a single-family lot. Options include building a second unit on the lot, for which the current owner had previously attained ready-to-issue plans, or converting the existing interior space or 3-car garage into an ADU. Whether you're looking for a home with room to grow or an investment opportunity with strong upside, this East Pasadena property is full of potential and a must see to appreciate!
