About This Home
As of January 2026Tucked away at the end of a verdant, tree-lined street, this 1938 Traditional-style home retains many of its original architectural details, including crown moldings, gleaming hardwood floors, and built-in bookcases.The elegant living room features floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a cozy sunroom and offer views of a charming brick patio beyond. A lovely dining alcove sits just off the galley-style kitchen, which boasts rich mahogany countertops and a vintage stove, blending character with functionality.Two generously sized bedrooms flank an updated hall bathroom adorned with custom tile work. Light fills the home through numerous windows, including a stunning bay window with floor-to-ceiling panes that invites the outdoors in.Set on an expansive 20,860 sq ft lot, the property offers a rare opportunity for potential expansion or landscape design, with several areas yet to be developed. Surrounded by larger estate homes, this gem is ideally located near the Rose Bowl, Brookside Golf Course, the Pasadena Aquatic Center, and just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Old Pasadena.
