About this home

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Garvanza/Arroyo Estates, this charming 1950’s Traditional 6 Bedroom home offers a flexible floor plan.  Step inside to a bright front room with hardwood flooring and abundant windows that can serve as a living room or formal dining space. The expanded first bathroom features a full-size walk-in shower and plenty of closet/storage space. The good size kitchen with a bar that seats two, perfectly separating the kitchen from the dining area for a defined layout.  The front bedroom includes a charming garden window overlooking the yard and a private exterior entrance, while a second bedroom offers ample storage and direct outdoor access. A few steps down, you’ll find the large living room with sliding glass doors leading outside and a stunning mid-century modern freestanding fireplace. Just off the living room, an additional space that can be used as a home office, gym, or den, complete with sliding glass doors for privacy and its own outdoor entrance.  Two additional bedrooms downstairs each feature private exterior entrances, providing excellent options for guests or extended family.  The full-size laundry closet and a second large full bath with a tub/shower combo and outdoor access complete the lower level. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a spacious bathroom with dual sinks, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The walk-in closet includes dual entrances (bedroom and bathroom) and custom built-in shelving. The primary bedroom offers two balconies one overlooking the backyard and another connecting to the fifth bedroom.  Additional highlights include individual thermostat controls for each bedroom, recessed lighting throughout, a two-car garage with direct home access, ample parking on the property, and fruit trees with a lemon tree in the front yard and a mango tree in the backyard.  This property’s unique layout, charm, and location make it a rare find in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods. All this just minutes from Pasadena, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, DTLA, and easy access to the 110 Freeway.

Built in 1950, this property has undergone some updates, but many elements are dated. The kitchen features refreshed painted cabinets and newer white countertops, but the appliances are older black models, and the overall style is not modern. The first bathroom is functional but shows signs of age with an older vanity and light fixture. The primary bathroom has more significant updates, including dual vessel sinks and a jacuzzi tub, but the specific tile choices and vanity light fixtures are not contemporary. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready, with features like recessed lighting and individual thermostats, many components like the living room carpet, some flooring, and general aesthetics are outdated and would require minor updates to meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Garvanza/Arroyo Estates, offering excellent proximity to Pasadena, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, DTLA, and easy access to the 110 Freeway.
Highly Flexible Floor Plan: Multiple bedrooms with private exterior entrances and an additional versatile space (office/gym/den) provide significant potential for multi-generational living, rental income, or dedicated workspaces.
Well-Appointed Primary Suite: The primary suite features a spacious bathroom with dual sinks, a jacuzzi tub, a separate walk-in shower, a walk-in closet with custom shelving, and two private balconies.
Modern Comforts & Parking: Includes individual thermostat controls for each bedroom, recessed lighting throughout, a two-car garage with direct home access, and ample additional parking on the property.
Unique Character & Outdoor Amenities: Retains charming 1950s traditional character with a stunning mid-century modern freestanding fireplace and boasts mature fruit trees (lemon, mango) in the yard.

Cons

Age of Core Systems: Built in 1950, the property may have original or older plumbing, electrical, and potentially roofing systems that could require future maintenance or costly upgrades, as no major system overhauls are explicitly detailed.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description mentions 'individual thermostat controls for each bedroom' but omits any mention of central air conditioning, strongly suggesting its absence, which could be a significant comfort drawback in Los Angeles' warmer climate.
Potentially Dated Kitchen Layout: The kitchen's 'defined layout' with a bar separating it from the dining area may not align with the open-concept preferences of many modern buyers, potentially limiting its broad appeal.
