About This Home

As of October 2023

Available for lease in prime Pasadena, this charming three-bedroom Spanish delivers space and amenities in a great location. The fully-detached, tastefully remodeled home is part of an exquisite private cul-de-sac that feels city-close and remarkably tucked away. 1920's heritage resonates in the red tile roof, wrought-iron railings, wood flooring and built-ins, stylishly updated with modern flair including chic paint colors, wallpaper, and the kitchen appointed with a tile splash and pro-style Viking range. Spread out into formal living + dining, a library/office, breakfast nook, powder room and lovely private patio. Upstairs bedrooms include the Primary with a large closet and balcony plus two additional bedrooms for family, guests and flexible use. Enjoy central heat + air, an assigned parking spot and garage storage for your bikes and gear. The location is excellent, right around the corner from South Lake Avenue offering Peet's Coffee, Erewhon Market, dining, boutiques and more.
