Description

Welcome to 427 Waldo Ave, a charming Craftsman-style bungalow just north of Pasadena's sought-after Madison Heights neighborhood. Set on a tree-lined street across from Mayfield Junior School, the home welcomes you with a manicured front lawn and a winding path to the front door. Inside, hardwood floors and classic wainscoting add warmth and character throughout. The living room features an exposed brick fireplace and French doors that open to a side patio, creating an easy flow for relaxing or spending time with friends. The dining area connects directly to the kitchen, where wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a practical layout make everyday cooking simple. Another set of French doors brings in natural light and fresh air. The home offers two bright bedrooms, thoughtfully set apart from the main living spaces. Both include wainscoting and share a full bathroom. Outside, the partially covered side patio extends your living space, while the fenced backyard offers room to garden, play, or enjoy time outdoors. A detached garage adds flexibility and could be converted into a home office, studio, or bonus space. With Whole Foods just a block away and Old Town Pasadena's shops and restaurants only minutes from your door, this home offers comfort, convenience, and a great opportunity to put down roots in a fantastic neighborhood.

    "Even though people are good about picking up their dogs’ poo, not everyone is a responsible dog owner. I rarely ever see any leash-less dogs. However, some people claim their dogs are service dogs when they’re out of control. Most places here do not like big dogs in the complexes. "

    "This is an absolute amazing neighborhood! It is not the type where your neighbors stay inside all day and never come out, or the type who are always nosy. It is perfect! At night there is no parties going on until like 3:00 or anything! It is quiet and nice, in the morning the birds are tweeting and you see people walking their dogs, biking, or just jogging! I totally recommend this neighborhood!"
