Property Description

PRICE ADJUSTMENT- Priced to Sell! Welcome to Your Enchanting California Bungalow. Step into this charming California Bungalow, a home with over 100 years of history that has gracefully evolved with its owners. Featuring a rare master suite, it boasts a marble bath and a walk-in closet. The three bedrooms are enhanced with newer Berber carpeting, and the home is fitted with recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout for modern comfort. The spacious kitchen, a standout feature for a home of this vintage, includes soft-close cabinet drawers, an extra-deep sink, a second prep sink, Fisher Paykel drawer dishwasher and unique concrete countertops, ready for your personal touch. A solar tube illuminates the central bathroom, adding natural light. The home has been thoughtfully updated with fully repiped copper plumbing, durable PVC sewer lines, a 200-amp electrical panel, and additional outlets throughout. The foundation has been inspected and earthquake retrofitted for added safety. It maintains its original hardwood flooring charm and the rustic elegance of Bouquet Canyon stone in the kitchen and mudroom. The HVAC system is in excellent condition and features a new thermostat. A fully functional fireplace, capable of using either gas or wood, adds warmth and character to the living space. Additional recent upgrades include new exterior paint, a new garage roof, and finished interior garage walls- a wonderful space that could easily be converted to an exterior office or potential ADU. The expansive, southern-facing front porch has been recently updated, offering a perfect space for enjoying morning coffee, engaging with friendly neighbors, listening to music, or curling up with a good book. It is beautifully landscaped, with over $65k invested to regrade the driveway with stunning new hand laid pavers and a new border planted with edible Spanish lavender kept alive with a new drip irrigation system. The property also has several flourishing citrus trees including grapefruit, a rare variegated Eureka Pink lemon, a spliced lemon & lime tree and a Haas avocado tree ready to harvest. The property includes multiple outdoor areas to savor the Southern California foothills and space for growing your own vegetables and fruits. Additional water lines and electrical upgrades, including a 220-volt plug, have been added to the garage and outdoor areas, providing options for EV charging or hot tub installation. Located in a vibrant community, this home offers a short commute to downtown Los Angeles, minutes from JPL, colleges and universities, the Rose Bowl. Enjoy nearby coffee shops, eateries, Christmas Tree Lane, the Altadena Library, and the shops on Lake Avenue, as well as the historic charm of Old Town Pasadena.
