About This Home
As of June 2025Pasadena's idyllic surroundings is the setting for this warm and inviting mid-century ranch. Located on a quiet stretch of Laguna Drive, this 1950 home offers timeless architecture, light-filled interiors, and a strong connection to its natural surroundings. Set back from the road and framed by mature plantings, the home's warm presence and thoughtful layout make it a true retreat in the heart of the city. Inside, nearly every room offers serene views of the outdoors. The sun-drenched living room opens to a peaceful courtyard, while the adjoining dining area and den both with walls of glass invite the landscape in and provide flexible living space for gatherings, relaxation, or work-from-home needs. The spacious kitchen boasts a center island and easy access to the backyard. Down the hall, the private bedroom wing includes three bedrooms, two sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom and a generous primary suite featuring an en suite bath and French doors that open directly to the garden. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with clean, modern finishes. The lush and private backyard is a sanctuary with mature lemon, orange, pecan, and purple Chinese magnolia trees. Multiple patios and shaded seating areas with a bubbling fountain create a storybook setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet reflection. Additional features include central HVAC, a functional mudroom, and a jumbo finished garage with abundant storage, ideal as a studio or creative workspace. Located near the Arroyo and just minutes from Old Town Pasadena's best shopping, dining, and cultural spots, this is a special home in an exceptional setting.
