More Insights

Built in 1923 (103 years old).
Condition: This 1923 Spanish Colonial has undergone significant and practical upgrades, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and well-maintained dark cabinetry, while the bathrooms are updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and clean tiling. Throughout the home, modern LVP/laminate flooring and large ceramic tiles are in excellent condition. While the property is extensively updated and well-maintained, some elements like the kitchen cabinet style and granite pattern, though functional and clean, suggest a renovation that is not 'virtually new' (within the last 5 years) but rather within the 5-15 year range. The potential for older underlying systems, typical for a 1923 build, also prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the visible components are in very good shape.

About this home

Set above the street, this 1923 Spanish Colonial exudes quintessential Pasadena charm and offers an ideal location just blocks from Lake Avenue, with easy access to Old Pasadena, The Rose Bowl, and convenient freeway connections. Inside, the living room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and framed by picture windows that overlook the manicured front lawn. Custom built-ins and archways add warmth and character to the space. The formal dining room sits just beyond, comfortably accommodating larger gatherings and connecting easily to the updated kitchen. With ample counter space, stainless steel appliances, and an adjacent laundry area, the kitchen is suited for both everyday living and entertaining. The two guest bedrooms are ideal for visitors, a work-from-home setup, or flexible use. At the rear of the home, a light-filled family room opens to the side courtyard through sliding glass doors and leads into the primary suite which includes generous closet space, an ensuite bath, and views of the backyard. Mature landscaping surrounds the expansive rear yard, where a patio, gazebo, and lawn create space for relaxing or hosting. A detached garage and workshop complete the property and offer additional potential for storage, creative use, or future possibilities. This home offers classic character, a thoughtful layout, practical upgrades, and enduring Pasadena appeal.
