Through the front door is the light and bright living room with a wonderful fireplace. The kitchen opens to the family room, which offers a post and beam ceiling with stunning views of both city and nature, including Pasadena's City Hall. There is a second impressive fireplace in the family room. The expansive back yard features over eight varieties of fruit trees, boysenberry bushes and a seasonal stream that runs along the very back of the property, adding to its serene ambiance.The home itself boasts several system upgrades within the last few years, including copper plumbing, a newer HVAC (and some ducting), a tankless water heater and a water filtration system. The house has also been earthquake retrofitted, complete with an automatic earthquake gas shutoff valve.Unlock the potential of this rare find and create a stunning sanctuary in one of Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods. Don't miss the chance to make this property your own and experience the best of Southern California living in a location that offers tranquility, natural beauty, and close proximity to Pasadena's world-class amenities.
