Property Description
Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined residential street in one of Pasadena's most beloved neighborhoods, this timeless 1912 California Bungalow has been cherished by the same family for 40 years -- a home where generations gathered for birthdays, weddings, and unforgettable family celebrations. Now offered for the first time since 1986, 623 N. Catalina Ave presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of living history without sacrificing a single modern comfort. Thoughtfully maintained and significantly upgraded, the home arrives move-in ready with a brand-new permitted foundation, a freshly replaced front porch roof with full roof tune-up, and a crisp exterior paint job complemented by freshly painted interiors throughout the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The expanded primary suite -- born from a masterful 2006/2007 renovation -- features double-pane windows, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite bath complete with a spa soaking tub. The well-appointed kitchen is anchored by a Thermador range, Jenn-Air refrigerator, and an LG dishwasher, with the added convenience of an in-unit Kenmore washer and dryer. Modern systems abound: a 220-amp electrical panel with EV charger, a Navien tankless water heater, central air and heat, updated attic insulation, an updated sewer line, and even a Toto Washlet toilet in the guest bath. Outside, a beautifully designed drought-tolerant garden with a combination drip and sprinkler system keeps the lush landscaping thriving with ease. From the leaded glass door lights to the custom chimney spark arrester, every detail tells the story of a home deeply loved. This is a home where history has been honored, systems have been modernized, and nothing essential has been left undone. --and now perfectly prepared for its next chapter.
