About This Home
In the highly sought-after Normandie Heights neighborhood of Pasadena, this romantic 1925 Spanish enchants on a tree-lined street, with mountain peaks in the distance.

Two sunny bedrooms include an ensuite primary; the guest bath is finished with stylish wallpaper. The generous backyard is perfect for summertime parties, with a hardscape patio for alfresco dining, and citrus trees and native landscaping throughout.
