Property Description

Enticing Views Await in Pasadena's Venerable Poppy Peak Historic District --This particularly well-wrought take on the ubiquitous California ranch house reminds one how great it is to live in Southern California. With a nod to the traditional aspects of the form, the interior feels at once homey and modern. The open plan lends itself to gracious indoor-outdoor living, offering uncluttered sight-lines and seamless transitions from room to room. Generously oversized windows bring in natural light and frame both distant and intimate views of treetops, city lights and the San Gabriel mountains beyond. --Elevated above the street on a gently sloping hillside lot, the structure is surrounded by lush and mature plantings and unique drought tolerant specimens. A serious of decks, terraces and patios create outdoor ''rooms'' where a bounty of sky and sunshine can be enjoyed on demand. --Renovated and well maintained by the current owners, this home is a turn-key proposition for the most discerning buyer. On the practical side, the mechanicals are fully serviceable, the roof is new, and both plumbing and electrical have been updated. Ample storage is highlighted by a two car garage, the partially finished basement and oversized closets. Gracious in every way, this home is suited to modernist and traditional tastes alike.
