About This Home
As of September 2025Pride of Ownership! This beautifully maintained home has everything you could wish for, featuring a unique and thoughtfully designed floor plan. The front yard is enclosed with updated fencing, while the backyard is perfectly suited for California weather ideal for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. Designed with sustainability in mind, the garden showcases native plants that thrive with low maintenance and minimal water use. The "sleeping" summer garden may appear dry but was intentionally designed to reflect the natural beauty and ecology of the region. Inside, you'll fall in love with the renovated kitchen bright, functional, and sure to inspire. A spacious open-concept living room and updated bathroom, both completed as part of a 2020 addition, enhance the home's modern feel. The separate family room offers a welcoming retreat, and a permitted bonus room has been brought up to code to serve as a comfortable fourth bedroom. Located in a warm, inviting neighborhood just minutes from the iconic Rose Bowl and close to Pasadena's best shops, dining, and entertainment, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy both lifestyle and location. Come make it your home!
