Description

In the heart of Pasadena, this 1924 Spanish residence boasts timeless elegance and modern comfort. A bougainvillea covered porch welcomes you to the classic living room with its period tile fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room has a decorative corner fireplace and a charming niche. There is a light filled breakfast nook, enhanced by a delightful arch framing the front window. The gourmet kitchen has honed granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a double drawer dishwasher. A roomy updated laundry room features quartzite countertops and custom cabinetry. Saltillo tile floors throughout add to the character of the home. The spacious primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, with dual pedestal sinks and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom also conveniently has its own ensuite full bathroom. A separate full bathroom is located off the main hallway across from the third bedroom which has access to a private patio retreat. Outside, a covered patio with a built-in barbeque area is perfect for outdoor entertaining. A two car garage has an attached office and the combined spaces offer potential for expansion to an ADU. The sprawling backyard with shady landscaping also provides room for future customization. This property is conveniently located minutes from the shops on Lake Avenue, CalTech and Old Town Pasadena.

    "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."
