Description

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Pasadena's prestigious South San Rafael Neighborhood, this mid-century traditional home was designed by noted architect Harold J. Bissner. Light floods the interiors through an abundance of multi-paned windows, and tree-top views surround the home. A formal entry leads to a step-down living room with fireplace, and a separate large family room with custom-built media and display cabinetry, and a second fireplace flanked by French doors leading to a pergola-covered patio. The formal dining room is highlighted with a bay window and designer light fixture, and a remodeled eat-in kitchen with quartz counters and KitchenAid appliances is bright and sunny. Primary bedroom suite with sliding French door leading to the rear yard, offers a large bath with double sink vanity, step-in shower and lots of storage, plus there's an extra-large custom closet, large enough for the most ambitious wardrobe. Two additional bedrooms, (one a converted study), plus two additional bathrooms and a laundry room round out this comfortable floor plan. The outdoors are a peaceful sanctuary, with California native and drought tolerant plantings, and a stone pathway winds its way to the lush back yard - perfect for entertaining or just relaxing. Adjacent to Pasadena's South Arroyo, enjoy beautiful neighborhood strolls and nature hikes, and the close proximity to the Rose Bowl, Old Town, and South Pasadena. Some of the many features include newly installed and refinished hardwood floors, elegant light fixtures, upgraded electrical system with Lutron programable switches, plantation shutters, Baldwin hardware, Crown molding, Cat5 wiring, newer LG washer & dryer included, Craftsman workbench and storage cabinets in finished and insulated garage, and 2 storage sheds. Thoughtfully updated and meticulously cared for, this beautiful turn-key home awaits the next lucky owner.
