Description

Located in the heart of Pasadena's Bungalow Heaven Landmark District, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, classic craftsman-style home has been tastefully updated to showcase the 1920s charm while meeting today's needs. Original features abound including the classic front porch, original front door, windows & built-ins between the living room & dining room. Both the living & family rooms features fireplaces. The newer kitchen with white cabinetry & granite counters, and newer baths with designer vanities, wood wainscoting & tile tub-surrounds take cues from the original character while adding a level of sophistication. There's also a newer roof, newer exterior & interior paint, and newer laminate wood floors & mouldings throughout. The fully-fenced backyard features a large patio, lawn, and a lovely garden with multiple seating areas from which to take it all in. There's also an oversized side yard with fruit trees & space to garden, and a wide driveway leading to a newly constructed 2 car garage.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
