Property Description
Built in 1929, this beautifully reimagined Spanish Colonial Revival sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Pasadena's highly sought-after Caltech/San Pasqual neighborhood. Thoughtfully restored and expanded in 2024, the home seamlessly balances original character with modern design, offering a functional and elegant three-bedroom, two-bath layout. A charming front courtyard leads into light-filled interiors showcasing arched doorways, a welcoming fireplace, and new oak hardwood floors throughout. New and restored windows, all-new interior and exterior doors, and carefully curated lighting, tile, and fixtures bring a cohesive, elevated aesthetic to every space. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom soft-close cabinetry, a built-in island, and a sunny custom nook. French doors from the dining area open back to the front courtyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The newly added primary suite--completed with permits--is a serene retreat featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, oversized glass-enclosed shower, and designer finishes. Sliding doors open to a newly built redwood deck with string lighting, perfect for quiet mornings or relaxed evenings. Behind the scenes, the home has been comprehensively updated with a new roof, HVAC system, 200-amp electrical panel, all-new wiring and PEX plumbing, new sewer line, tankless electric water heater, rain gutters, and fresh interior paint. The backyard offers space to garden or play, while the detached garage includes a new door, motor, and remote. Lovely landscaping and hardscape complete this turnkey offering. A rare opportunity to own a fully renovated Spanish classic in one of Southeast Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods.
