About This Home

As of October 2023

This vintage 1936 half-timbered English revival home is a contributing home to the Glen Summer Landmark District in west Pasadena's cherished San Rafael neighborhood. On the market for the first time in almost 30 years, this much-loved home sits on an elevated, beautifully
landscaped flat corner lot accented by a custom arroyo stone wall and is a previous recipient of Pasadena Heritage's Golden Arrow Award. The two-story floor plan includes 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The
kitchen is accented by a suite of reproduction vintage appliances and opens to a sun-drenched garden room. The main level also includes a cozy den with original plank walls and cabinetry, a large living room
with a distinguished brick fireplace and bay window, and hardwood floors throughout. The center hall floor plan allows for a nice separation of bedrooms on the upper floor, all of which open to tree- top views. The backyard includes multiple seating areas, great privacy, an in-ground recirculating pond with healthy lotus plants and a vine-covered arbor well-suited for outdoor dining. A 2-car detached
garage is accessed from the side street and includes a 3 rd -car,
automatic gated carport. The Glen Summer Landmark District
includes mature trees, sidewalks, immediate access to a public library and popular elementary school, plus easy access to local restaurants, Old Pasadena and all the benefits of the Rose Bowl and trails in the arroyo seco.
