Built in 1926, this home seamlessly blends original architectural charm, such as hardwood floors and a welcoming fireplace, with contemporary kitchen and bathroom upgrades.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom configuration across nearly 2,200 square feet provides excellent versatility for multi-generational living, guest space, or a dedicated home office.
Situated on a quiet, desirable street, the property offers a serene lifestyle with mountain views and immediate proximity to local hiking trails and Pasadena's dining and shopping.
Due to the home's 1926 construction date, buyers may face higher maintenance costs or the need for future upgrades to aging systems like plumbing or electrical.
At nearly $1.7 million, the property is positioned at the higher end of the local market, which may limit the pool of buyers looking for more competitive square-footage-to-price ratios.
