Property Description

Welcome to this 1927 English Tudor sanctuary in a tranquil enclave of Pasadena, set behind the backdrop of the gorgeous San Gabriel mountains. Step beyond the lush front yard and porch into a living room brimming with natural light from oversized pocket windows. Here you will also find a gorgeous built-in sofa crafted of custom alder wood beams and African mudcloth cushions, refinished hardwood floors, original details and charming decorative fireplace complete with custom alder wood mantle, handmade Mexican Talavera and Lincoln Red tile. Tucked behind the living room is a sun-kissed side patio. Pass through an inviting archway to the adjoining formal dining room, effortlessly flowing into the impeccably designed kitchen with Carrara countertops, alder floating shelves, an enameled cast iron apron sink, convenient pot filler, automatic dog door, whole house water filtration system, and too many more charming details to mention. Down the hallway are three well proportioned bedrooms drenched in sunlight. Outside, the private backyard reveals an enchanting covered lanai, and mature landscaping that includes apricot, olive and palo verde trees, banana leaf palms, fragrant Mexican sage, an 80-year old camelia bush, dahlias, peonies, California wildflowers, calming lavender, bougainvillea, and several more species. Under the house is a one-car garage behind barn doors purposed currently as an art studio, complete with an electric car plug port. Aside from the street-to-street lot, private parking both behind house and driveway in front of the house, there is a rare amount of extra storage including a large attic with pull down ladder, California basement in the kitchen, and additional storage space under the home. Very conveniently located near the spirited shops and dining of Pasadena and nearby Altadena.
