Description

Set on a large corner lot in a coveted neighborhood in the quiet and secluded San Rafael Hills, this Mid-Century architectural classic is a diamond in the rough, a fresh canvas for reimagining. Natural light streams into this vintage 5 bed/3 bath ranch style home offering a truly versatile floor plan for customizing. The main level features a generous living room with space for a home office, stylish free-standing fireplace, and abundant windows that look out to gorgeous sunset views. There is room to expand for additional living space on this picturesque side of the house. In the dining area sliding glass doors open to an outdoor deck for meals al fresco, while built-in buffet and cabinetry provide functionality. The vintage vibe continues in the kitchen with period decorator tiles, avocado double ovens and vibrant period flooring. The adjacent laundry room is conveniently positioned with door to the side yard. At the end of the hall is a sunny primary suite with dressing room and bath to accommodate single-story living. Downstairs are three generous bedrooms with built-in desks and hall bathroom. A fifth bedroom has its own bath and is decorated with shelving and colors that evoke modern art. A sunny common area offers a transitional space to serve as a study with floor-to-ceiling shelving, or recreation room extending to the outdoors via glass sliders. There is plenty of space to play in the grassy backyard, or room for a pool, and multiple patios with brick barbecue are ideal for entertaining. Charming garden areas and citrus trees add to the lovely curb appeal, while mature foliage provides beauty and privacy. The home is easily accessed from the two-car garage on the lower level. Convenient to schools, San Rafael Library, renowned Rose Bowl and Arroyo activities, this property is in prime proximity to Pasadena's shopping and culture, downtown Los Angeles and the studios. Create your dream home in this Pasadena architectural jewel, and savor quintessential California living!

    "Cute established area of smaller character homes (mine's a 2+1on cul de sac of mid-century moderns) and million-dollar-plus estates. Nice mix of folks in age, lifestyle, interests. Lots of dog lovers (mine kinda people.) Walk to Old Pas or So Pas. "
