About This Home

As of March 2026

Welcome to 396 North Mentor Ave — a beautifully remodeled Craftsman bungalow nestled in the heart of Mid-City Pasadena. Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, this duplex home offers comfort, functionality, and refined style in a peaceful setting. The wraparound porch is surrounded by lush citrus trees, providing shade, fresh fruit, and the lovely aroma of citrus blossoms. Inside, you’ll find new plank flooring, recessed lighting, and clean contemporary finishes that complement the home’s classic Craftsman charm. Each room features its own energy-efficient mini-split A/C unit. This home is equipped with an energy efficient tankless water heater. The bright and spacious living room is filled with natural light and features a lovely gas fireplace at its center. The dining room, with its charming built-ins, can be used as an entertainment space or formal dining room. Consider using either room as a 2nd bedroom or office space. The kitchen has been fully renovated with modern cabinetry that provides excellent storage and functionality. Enjoy newer appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, water filtration system, microwave, washer, and dryer. The fully renovated bathroom delivers a clean, contemporary aesthetic with high-end touches such as a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, subway tile walls with mosaic tile flooring, a modern vanity with vessel sink, and upgraded fixtures. The primary bedroom is spacious and has an impressive, oversized walk-in closet complete with custom shelving, drawers, and abundant hanging space. Ideally located just blocks from Lake Avenue, Old Town Pasadena, Pasadena City College (PCC), Caltech, The Paseo, and so much more, this home offers both charm and convenience in one.
