About This Home
As of September 2022540 Benson Way, feels like a home that belongs in hills above Pasadena or even off in the mountains somewhere. The deceptive entry reveals little of the fantastic lot and expansive great room that awaits. With rich hardwood floors throughout, gorgeous lighting and stunning tongue and groove stained wood ceilings, you'll never want to leave this room! Featuring hearty beams and towering volume, the dramatic ceilings exude a warmth using Craftsman sensibilities that have made this architectural design so desirable. Whether you picture yourself reading a book in a wooded cabin or sipping a Santa Barbara Pinot while the mountains glow at sunset, it's here where the Olde World charm truly shines. Your wonderful kitchen is an inspiration. Where amenities like raised panel cherry cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances will inspire you to new culinary heights. The space for entertaining is marvelous and the mountain and sunset views from the rear balcony, simply breathtaking. The primary is one of two ensuites downstairs that feature remodeled baths and doors to the rear. With an additional bedroom and a full 3rd bath on the main level, there's room for everyone. The enormous yard is a dream place for you to garden, play, create and of course, entertain. There's two patios, a fabulous pergola and a fire pit. There's even an EV charger! Amazing.
