Description

Nestled on a picture-perfect, tree-lined street in Southeast Pasadena's highly coveted Daisy-Villa neighborhood, this character-filled single-level 1940s traditional home sits on a spacious 8,536 sq ft professionally landscaped corner lot. Tastefully remodeled and reimagined by an architect in 2021 for the owners' growing family, the residence perfectly balances vintage charm with modern luxury. Step inside to a warm and inviting living room featuring original honey-hued hardwood floors, custom built-in shelving with an integrated desk, a decorative fireplace, and a large picture window framing distant views of the San Gabriel Mountains. The sunny formal dining room boasts a classic bay window and French doors that open to an expansive Ipe wood deck with a grapevine-draped pergola, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for al fresco dining. The chef's kitchen is meticulously designed with upscale Thermador appliances, Caesarstone countertops, Forbo Marmoleum flooring, a stainless-steel farm sink with a Dornbracht faucet, hot and cold filtered water, a laundry alcove with a Miele front-load washer and dryer, and an adjacent powder room. The open kitchen flows into a step-down family/media room with a breakfast bar and a second decorative fireplace with a door that opens to a tranquil covered patio. The private bedroom wing is thoughtfully laid out. Retreat to the primary suite, flooded with morning sunlight, featuring a spacious walk-in custom closet and a luxe, spa-like bath with premium Waterworks fixtures, a freestanding vanity with brass pulls, and a roomy rainfall shower with handheld wand. Down the hall from the primary, you will find two equally balanced guest bedrooms and a refreshed vintage bathroom featuring a tub/shower combo and newer fixtures. Outdoors, the large, fully fenced and hedged backyard is a private oasis. It offers a secure grassy play area anchored by a mature lemon tree, surrounded by numerous lush plants and trees. In the evenings, integrated outdoor spotlights and pathway lights throughout both the front and backyard illuminate the grounds, creating a beautifully dramatic and welcoming environment. The property features a detached 2-car garage (~523 sq ft) with an automatic opener, a hot/cold water utility sink, and a direct connection to the sewer line offering strong potential for a future ADU or home office (buyer to verify). Adjacent to the garage, a large gate opens to the side yard, offering convenient recreational vehicle parking. Additional upgrades include updated plumbing and electrical, and a newer (2022) mini-split HVAC system. Located just moments away from top-rated schools like Willard Elementary, Lamanda Park Branch Library, Eaton Blanche Park, Rosebud Cafe, and the Wild Parrot Brewery.
