Description

There is something special about Eldora Road. It is not just the meandering sidewalks or the decorative streetlights or even the character of its homes, it is the community that is found here. Its occupants enjoy annual block parties, Halloween gatherings, Christmas Caroling, & the daily joy of children playing. Situated prominently on a large 9,400 sf parcel, 542 Eldora was built in 1937 in the middle of the street. The Traditional stye home includes 1,837 sf with 2 very large bedrooms & a separate den/office. The formal entry leads into both the central hall & living room. The living room is beautifully appointed with a large bay window showcasing the view of the San Gabriel Mountains, a fireplace, & multiple wall sconces. The dining room offers an oversized window, & access to the den/office, kitchen, & basement. The den/office features new hardwood flooring, multiple windows, & exterior access to the side patio. The highlight of the home is the newly remodeled kitchen. Butcher block counters, wood cabinetry, recessed lighting, Marmoleum flooring, & a farmhouse sink adorn the space. Off the central hallway are the 2 bedrooms & bathrooms. The hallway bath features original tiling, a bathtub, & separate shower area. The guest bedroom has 3 windows & a spacious closet. The master bedroom is quite large & includes multiple closets & its own bathroom with original tiling & leaded glass window. The front & rear yards include green grass, fruit trees & multiple sitting areas.

    "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."
