Description
This one has it all! Big lot, big charm, tons of updates! This move-in ready home pairs original Pasadena character with modern updates throughout, and the oversized backyard gives you the kind of outdoor space that's hard to come by. Step inside to a bright, spacious living room with its original Claycraft tile fireplace and lovely coved ceilings. The formal dining room opens through sliding doors to the patio and backyard, connecting indoor and outdoor space in a way that works for both entertaining and everyday life. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a cozy nook off to the side, just right for a coffee bar, a breakfast nook, or extra pantry storage. The primary bedroom is generously sized with an en-suite bath that was just fully remodeled, featuring a new walk-in shower, vanity, mirror, and fixtures. Two additional bedrooms sit on the opposite end of the home, each with a walk-in closet, and they share a fully remodeled bathroom. Every bedroom has its own individual climate control for year-round comfort. A dedicated laundry area includes an exterior door leading directly out to the yard. And the yard is where this property really sets itself apart! The big lot includes a large fenced lawn area, a fire pit for evenings outside, and persimmon and lemon trees. An automatic driveway gate provides access to the 1-car detached garage and a covered carport or patio space. Recent improvements include a brand new roof, newer AC, dual pane windows, luxury vinyl flooring, fresh paint throughout, and a new dishwasher. Located just a few blocks from neighborhood restaurants and daily conveniences, with easy access to the 210, 134, and connecting freeways. The Rose Bowl, Old Pasadena dining and shops, and popular parks and trails are all a short drive away. This one is worth seeing in person!
