About this House
This welcoming 1920s Craftsman bungalow in Pasadena blends classic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Newly installed engineered hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and recessed lighting create a bright, comfortable atmosphere, while the living room showcases timeless Craftsman details including a vintage fireplace with built-in shelving. The kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with natural stone quartzite countertops, painted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a new tile backsplash, and updated fixtures, offering warmth and everyday practicality. The bathroom features new vanity lighting, and a separate laundry room adds extra convenience. Major system upgrades include new copper plumbing throughout, an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, a newer roof with a 50-year warranty, EV charger installation, and exterior and attic sealing for pest prevention and added peace of mind. Outdoors, both the front and back yards have been fully reimagined with new landscaping, drip irrigation, and exterior lighting, creating inviting spaces to relax or entertain. A freshly painted 268 sq ft detached two-car garage offers flexible use as a workspace, studio, or potential future expansion. Ideally located close to parks, dining, shopping, and convenient freeway access, this is a beautifully updated and lovingly maintained Pasadena classic, ready for its next chapter.
