About this House

This quintessential Colonial jewel proudly overlooks Madison Heights, one of Pasadena's most historically and architecturally significant neighborhoods. Beautifully remodeled inside and out with an elegant and pristine design while keeping an easy California living comfort. Smart home technology to satisfy all modern functionality and luxury demands. A crisp and sophisticated style is balanced throughout the property, leaving no detail spared. A brick walkway lined with iceberg roses and a perfectly manicured lawn leads you to a covered entrance. The formal entry with a dramatic staircase greets all who enter. Glimpses to the dining room, outside entertaining terrace, formal living room, stately office & 1930's inspired half bath, are all captured from this vantage point. A truly stunning gourmet-chef's kitchen is the heart of the home. Nickel & glass light fixtures hang above the long center island and prep counter. Professional-grade appliances and backless glassware cabinets are accompanied by a petite butler's pantry, a stylish powder room, and a large laundry/utility room with a workspace and a covered receiving porch. The kitchen opens to a cozy family room with a fireplace, french doors, mulled windows, and a built-in bay window. The second level has a ''loft'' family room with built-in cabinetry, media, a snack refrigerator, and views of the expansive rear yard. Situated neatly around the loft are the bedroom suites. A grand primary bedroom suite with a fireplace, soaring ceilings, a view of the pool & spa, a twin set of walk-in closets, double sinks, a jetted tub, and a separate shower. Very luxurious! Two of the other bedrooms are ensuite and the fourth makes a perfect guest bedroom and has access to a full hall bathroom. All of them with recently renovated designer touches. All-year-round entertaining on the terrace and covered patio with media, a fireplace, and a complete outdoor grilling kitchen. Beyond the large flat yard is a gated pool & spa with a service bathroom. A two-car garage is located at the rear of the lot with private road access. An unforgettable property in a very special 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!"
