About this House

Located in a quaint neighborhood, a few blocks away from hiking trails in the Hahamongna Watershed Park and JPL, this charming house is also just a few minutes away from shopping & dining in Old Town Pasadena or La Canada.

The house was remodeled several years ago and features modern conveniences but retains its original charms such as the wood floor, fireplace, archway and other built-ins. The entryway opens up to a living area with a beamed ceiling and a tiled fireplace. This space gives way to a formal dining room that opens to the kitchen. The kitchen features Corian counters, a vintage stove and custom cabinetry with an abundance of storage. The two bedrooms are spacious, with the master giving direct access to a peaceful yard with shade from a large cedar tree, a brick patio and an outdoor fireplace. A full bath with a vanity with double sinks and a recent washer/dryer with plenty of linen storage complement this character house.

    "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."
