Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1967, the property is well-maintained but features dated interiors. The bathrooms show older 4x4 tile work and vanities, and the living areas contain older carpeting and built-ins, suggesting renovations are likely 20-30 years old. While functional and move-in ready, the home requires cosmetic updates to the kitchen and baths to meet modern standards.
The home features highly desirable Mid-Century Modern influences, including soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace that provide a sophisticated aesthetic.
With over 3,000 sq. ft. of living space on a single level, the floor plan is thoughtfully designed with a separate bedroom wing and dedicated office space, offering both privacy and accessibility.
The property includes a rare three-car garage and a long driveway, providing ample off-street parking and storage capacity that is difficult to find in established Pasadena neighborhoods.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3002, other record living area = 2668.
At 3,002 sq. ft., the home only offers three bedrooms, which may be perceived as a low bedroom count for the price point and total square footage by larger families.
Built in 1967 and described as having 'timeless architectural character,' the property likely requires updates to its original systems or finishes to meet the expectations of modern luxury buyers.
