About this House

Stunning 1941 Traditional with views of the towering San Gabriel Mountains, in the much-coveted President Streets neighborhood near the Eaton Nature Preserve. Featuring a main house consisting of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus a detached guest house (measured at 592 square feet), which includes a full bathroom, a second laundry hookup, storage area, and a soundproof music room. Past the lush and drought-tolerant greenery and the meandering stone walkways, you will find the inviting living room, anchored by a fireplace, with an oversized picture window that brings the outdoors in. Warm original oak floors lead you into the formal dining room via a large archway, where you can enjoy your meals with views out to the garden, where details like the home's original porthole window and curvature of the front porch remind you of a time when all the details of a home were carefully crafted and thought out. The modernized kitchen immediately draws your eye to the quaint breakfast nook, with bay windows and original wainscoting. Other unique details include beamed ceilings, fun saloon doors leading to the laundry room, and a scalloped valance above the sink. Light-filled and airy, with glass-front cabinets, quartz countertops, and brass hardware- the kitchen is a seamless blend of classic and modern. French doors lead you to your own Mad Men-style office, with rich wood built-ins, a sink for a wet bar, and an arched transom window. Bathed in light with an oversized skylight and its own en-suite bath is one of the bedrooms. Off the long hallway, you will find a full bathroom featuring classic black-and-white tile and dual windows. Another large bedroom, with a door leading to the beautifully lit backyard, and the primary suite make up the rest of the main house. The primary suite is 560 square feet of sheer delight, featuring a vaulted ceiling, a skylight, two closets, bay windows that include French doors, and a stunning bathroom with an oversized shower and built-in bench and shelf, dual sinks, and a closet with new custom-built storage shelving and pocket door. Completely gut-renovated in 2024, with bold and brilliant porcelain olive green tile from Wow Design EU and Huntington White Terrazzo floors. Step outside and stare in awe at the grandeur of the towering mountains from your hammock while eating an orange from your abundantly producing tree. The flagstone path leads you to the recently gut-renovated guest house, and it is absolutely incredible. Telescoping Fleetwood sliding glass doors lead you to a foyer with oak built-ins and a sink with a refrigerator. The main area showcases vaulted ceilings, a skylight, custom casework shelving with integrated lighting, and hardwired internet. Polished concrete throughout, and new Milgard windows, plus a well-sized bathroom with oversized shower, vertical picture window, floating vanity, and dazzling olive porcelain tile work. Need a space to make some noise? This guesthouse also features an interior room with soundproofing materials between double drywall and mounted picture lights to showcase your favorite art pieces. A storage area with laundry hookups and a utility sink finishes off the space. The property also features an owned solar system, seamless gutters (2024), an EV charger (2024), 200-amp upgraded panel, 30-year roof replaced in 2017, retrofitted foundation (2024), and a new water main line (2024). Minutes to Old Town Pasadena with its renowned shopping and dining, and other close treasures such as the storied 'Christmas Tree Lane,' with over 100 cedar trees lit up during the holiday season; this neighborhood has a unique blend of old charm, small-town vibes, and unmatched natural beauty in Los Angeles.

    "Dog owners will be very pleased to live in this community. There are many pet lovers here. The only area of concern is there are wild animals living in the area; coyotes, bears, bobcats, skunk, opossum, rattlesnake and deer. Dogs and cats should never be left unmonitored in their yards, as they may be eaten or injured by coyotes at any time of the day."
