Property Description
Located in coveted South Pasadena, this 1923 Spanish-style cottage has substantial intact original charm and endless potential for the future. With its red tile roof, arched portico over the driveway, and the trio of arches that create the front porch, the curb appeal is straight out of a storybook. Inside, you'll find a spacious and light-filled floor plan with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and timeless architectural details including hardwood floors, coved ceilings, original French doors and wood windows. The warm and welcoming living room with beautifully tiled fireplace flows into a formal dining area, offering great bones for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen and baths retain vintage character, while thoughtful system updates - including a 200-amp electrical panel and updated wiring throughout the home, upgraded heating, and central air conditioning (2022) - ensure year-round comfort and reliability. Step outside to a private backyard retreat, shaded by mature trees and enhanced with vibrant artificial turf for effortless enjoyment. Whether you're hosting dinner al fresco, relaxing under the canopy, or dreaming of an ADU or garden studio, this generous outdoor space invites creativity and connection. A detached garage and long gated driveway provide ample off-street parking and storage. All this, just blocks from Garfield Park, award-winning South Pasadena schools, Mission Street shops and cafes, and the Metro Gold Line. With its ideal location, architectural charm, and room to grow, 1707 Garfield Avenue is a rare opportunity in one of the most beloved communities.
