Description

A 1912 classic, reimagined for today, and looking hotsy-totsy 100 years later! Perched proudly on a wide Pasadena street, this 2-bedroom California Craftsman-Colonial mashup is a timeless beauty born during the city's golden age of rose parades, red car trolleys, and hand-hewn architecture. Thoughtfully updated in 2022, it seamlessly blends historic soul with modern ease. A stately front porch, original wood door, and signature cylinder glass windows set a warm, elevated tone. Inside, the living room welcomes you with fresh paint, engineered hardwood floors, updated lighting, and a decorative fireplace that nods to the past while setting the stage for cozy gatherings. Just beyond, the sun-splashed parlor offers the ideal flex space perfect for working from home or curling up with a book. The spacious dining room flows into an open-concept kitchen, ready for weeknight dinners or dinner parties alike. Down the hall, you'll find two generous bedrooms, each drenched in natural light and offering deep closets. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated with a clean, classic aesthetic that respects the home's heritage. A spacious laundry/mudroom offers additional storage, and the large attic and California cellar are brimming with potential. Outside, the 6,991 sq ft lot offers low-maintenance landscaping and plenty of room to grow. Just minutes from Altadena, Christmas Tree Lane, Homestate Tacos, Highlight Coffee, and the charm of Old Town Pasadena. History, style, and location all in one. Welcome home!

    "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."
