Built in 1962 and on the market for the first time in 59 years, this traditional home is nestled on a beautiful tree-lined street in coveted Normandie Heights. At 1880 square feet, there are four bedrooms and two baths, one of which if reconfigured could become an ensuite to one of the bedrooms making it a beautiful primary suite. There is so much space flexibility and potential in this home with a large family room that could double as a home office, a home-school classroom or maybe a game room. The home has energy efficient windows, copper plumbing, and tons of storage throughout. The huge 9645 square foot lot has off-street parking for a multitude of cars and toys and has even been known to house a tractor or two in the past. Behind the home is a two-bay oversized garage with an attached 240 square foot storage building that is ready for your hobbies, gear, a sound or art studio? Your choice. Also in the backyard is an additional car port for more covered parking or a great place to have an outdoor entertaining space. This home is close to Pasadena Christian School, Old Town Pasadena and more!

    "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."
