This home has been exceptionally well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded over the past 2 decades. The yard is immaculate with an enormous deck for outdoor entertaining, and you enter the garage from a private street. Great homes like this in a premier South Pasadena location are a rarity and sell quickly - so don't miss your chance to see this charming home!
