Description

Tranquil Spanish-Style Cottage in the Pasadena Foothills: Tucked away in the scenic foothills of Pasadena, this enchanting 1920s Spanish-style cottage offers a peaceful retreat in a historic California Bungalow Court. Originally built in 1928 as a getaway for hikers, this nearly 1-acre, park-like community sits just around the corner from the iconic Christmas Tree Lane. Step inside this warm and inviting 1-bedroom, 1-bath home and enjoy a thoughtfully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances—including a 5-burner range with convection oven, over-the-range microwave, dishwasher, and fume hood. In addition to the primary bedroom, there's a versatile bonus room perfect for a small second bedroom, office, or creative space. The charming dining room, hardwood floors, tall French windows, and abundant natural light give this cottage its timeless appeal. A rear mudroom with washer/dryer hookups adds convenience, while the private fenced backyard courtyard and expansive tree-lined front lawn offer ideal spaces for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Pet-friendly and full of character, this home is perfectly located just minutes from the quaint shops and cafes of Altadena, and only a 5-minute drive to Old Town Pasadena. Downtown Los Angeles is within a 25-minute commute, offering endless dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions. Nature lovers will love the easy access to local hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, as well as the nearby Rose Bowl with its golf course, jogging paths, and Olympic swimming facility. With a blend of historic charm, modern amenities, and an unbeatable location near public transit and the great outdoors, this cottage is a rare gem in the heart of Pasadena.
