1857 Monte Vista St Pasadena, CA 91107

Located on a lovely, shady street in NE Pasadena, this 1923 craftsman cottage has been updated for modern living and entertaining with a beautiful indoor/outdoor flow. The home is majestically sited above the street with a charming front porch that is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. Beyond the front door is the open living room with decorative faux fireplace. The adjacent dining room, with French doors to the expansive deck, opens to the kitchen and family room; both are an unexpected surprise for a house of this scale. The perfect hub of the house, the kitchen has visual access to all of the public rooms and direct access through additional French doors to the entertaining deck. The remodeled kitchen has vaulted ceilings, a large center island, high-end stainless-steel appliances, and two counter seating areas. The family room is the perfect size, large enough for a sectional sofa but intimate enough to enjoy a movie night at home. The east side of the house is dedicated private space featuring two bedrooms, each with substantial closet space, an artfully designed hall bath with separate shower and clawfoot tub, and a primary suite. The primary bedroom suite is very generous in scale and the bathroom is luxurious with extensive use of Carrera marble, a heated floor, and oversized shower. Thoughtfully updated with entertaining in mind the home's large deck is a wonderful extension of the living space and makes a perfect outdoor living room. A patio extends that space and is well-suited for a large dining table. The yard is complete with a large flat grassy area that is great play space, a carport that the present owners have used often for a party pavilion, and a studio/storage space. This beautifully appointed home is sophisticated, comfortable, & just waiting for a new owner to cherish it!
