The dining area is open to the living room and features a pass through eating/serving counter to the chef's kitchen, which is truly the showcase of the home. Custom designed 5 years ago as only a chef can do, it features a food prep island, granite 'leather finish' counters, glass tile backsplash, wood Craftsman style cabinetry, some with custom interior lighting, 5 burner LG gas professional stove and oven, Breville microwave on custom shelf, GE flush-front dishwasher and stainless LG refrigerator, wide stainless farm sink and some period light fixtures, it truly is a place to both cook and gather. The 2 bedrooms on the North side of the home flank a comfortable bathroom with an updated vanity counter and lighting. The front bedroom features a classic craftsman window view to the front yard, generous light and new carpet. The back bedroom has an extra large closet which also contains the stacked washer/dryer included in the sale, as well as sliding door access directly to the back yard.

With direct access from both the kitchen and back bedroom, the generous size backyard is the perfect setting for a gathering of friends or a cozy place to retreat at the end of the day. About 2 miles to Old Town Pasadena, the Rose Bowl and it's golf and exercise offerings, Gabrielino Trailhead hiking and even less to the 210 freeway, it's a convenient location to so much that Pasadena has to offer and makes this thoughtfully updated, charming Craftsman Cottage a choice place to call home.
