About This Home

As of August 2025

Craftsman Charmer in Coveted Garfield Heights. Welcome to 1022 Marengo Avenue, a two-story Craftsman bungalow on a picturesque tree-lined street in Pasadena's sought-after Garfield Heights neighborhood. This four-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a generous lot with endless potential. The main house is filled with original character, from hardwood floors to vintage windows that flood the space with natural light. The formal living and dining rooms flow into a bright, spacious kitchen, complete with brand new stainless steel appliances, a dedicated laundry room and access to the expansive backyard. One bedroom and a full bath are located on the main level ideal for guests or a home office. Upstairs, you'll find three more bedrooms and a half-bath, with room to expand or reimagine the space to suit your needs. Out back, the detached two-car garage offers incredible flexibility, think office, studio, or future ADU. And the oversized backyard? It's just waiting for a pool, garden, or play area. Imagine coming home to your reimagined architectural gemstone of a property and retreating behind the gates to your own private sanctuary, where charm, space, and potential all come together.
