About This Home
As of June 2016This three bedroom, two bath traditional home built in 1939 sits on more than half an acre in the hills of Pasadena's sought after Linda Vista neighborhood. This tranquil, light-filled home marries tradition & modernity with original hardwood floors, crown molding, new tile, upgraded systems, recessed lighting, & elegant touches from interior designer Michele Trout. The remodeled master suite features glass French doors that open onto one of the home's four patios. 1560 Scenic Drive boasts a recently remodeled kitchen with a five-burner gas stove, double ovens, a warming drawer, & a skylight. Above the spacious detached two car garage with built in storage, you'll find a private guest suite with its own bedroom, living room, & separate entrance. 1560 Scenic is surrounded by lush, drought resistant landscaping that includes eucalyptus, rosemary, roses, & variety of succulents. This shaded hideaway is deceptively close to the Rose Bowl, Art Center College of Design, & Old Town Pasadena.
