Description

A thoughtfully landscaped front yard with succulents and fruit trees introduces this Pasadena bungalow, blending timeless character with modern updates. The welcoming covered porch opens to a spacious living room anchored by a fireplace and filled with natural light from large windows. Oversized pocket doors lead to the formal dining room with built-in cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting setting. An arched opening with a peninsula connects seamlessly to the expansive kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a window overlooking the outdoors, and direct access to the backyard.Just beyond the kitchen, a 3/4 bath with dual sinks and a separate water closet with shower opens to a large laundry room, combining function and convenience. A connecting hallway, accessible from both the kitchen and the living room, leads to a bedroom, the staircase to the second floor--illuminated by a large window--and access to the basement, currently staged as a media and creative studio with space for music, streaming, or recreation.The upper level offers four bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom. The additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. A walk-in hallway closet and a 3/4 bath complete the second floor.Outdoor living includes an expansive fully covered paved backyard, thoughtfully designed as an all-weather retreat with generous space for lounging, dining, and play. A finished detached garage adds further versatility, ideal as a studio, workshop, or gym.Notable upgrades include solar panels for energy efficiency, a whole-house water softener, newer condenser, refinished wood floors, new attic insulation (2025), new roof (2025), dual-pane windows, and an EV charger outlet.Centrally located, this home is minutes from the Rose Bowl, Brookside Park, Old Town Pasadena, Lake Avenue shopping and dining, Caltech, and cultural landmarks, offering the perfect blend of Pasadena's architectural heritage and modern living.

    "We live on Glen Ave which is a quiet street with really good neighbors all around. It's much more attractive and well kept than South of Washington or immediately North of Woodbury, although North of Woodbury has been gentrifying extremely rapidly especially since Covid started. There are quite a few churches and a Buddhist temple. This area is very convenient with really awesome supermarkets like Super King and Vallarta that have much better produce options than Vons or Pavilions, which are also nearby. It's extremely quick to get to Trader Joe's as well. You can easily access outdoor and water activities at the Rose Bowl, the arroyo, or Descanso Gardens and there is a 24 hour fitness at Woodbury & Lincoln if you want to stay indoors. The kids from the high school walk home through the neighborhood but they generally behave themselves and it hasn't been a problem. Street parking is easy but guests parking overnight in Pasadena need a $5 permit that you get from a kiosk at the fire station on Fair Oaks."

    "Well I live in upper Altadena, but i used to live down on w mountain and I liked it there. I mean other than the “landlord” there (she’s long gone btw) , and there was the occasional parties that personally didn’t bug me but I know how it can be. But anyway Altadena is really cool and mostly quiet. And ever now and then you’ll see a couple of horseback riders which I love and I’d say that sorta unique."
