Property Description
A thoughtfully landscaped front yard with succulents and fruit trees introduces this Pasadena bungalow, blending timeless character with modern updates. The welcoming covered porch opens to a spacious living room anchored by a fireplace and filled with natural light from large windows. Oversized pocket doors lead to the formal dining room with built-in cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting setting. An arched opening with a peninsula connects seamlessly to the expansive kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a window overlooking the outdoors, and direct access to the backyard.
Just beyond the kitchen, a ¾ bath with dual sinks and a separate water closet with shower opens to a large laundry room, combining function and convenience. A connecting hallway, accessible from both the kitchen and the living room, leads to a bedroom, the staircase to the second floor—illuminated by a large window—and access to the basement, currently staged as a media and creative studio with space for music, streaming, or recreation.
The upper level offers four bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom. The additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. A walk-in hallway closet and a ¾ bath complete the second floor.
Outdoor living includes an expansive fully covered paved backyard, thoughtfully designed as an all-weather retreat with generous space for lounging, dining, and play. A finished detached garage adds further versatility, ideal as a studio, workshop, or gym.
Notable upgrades include solar panels for energy efficiency, a whole-house water softener, newer condenser, refinished wood floors, new attic insulation (2025), new roof (2025), dual-pane windows, and an EV charger outlet.
Centrally located, this home is minutes from the Rose Bowl, Brookside Park, Old Town Pasadena, Lake Avenue shopping and dining, Caltech, and cultural landmarks, offering the perfect blend of Pasadena's architectural heritage and modern living.
