Despite being built in 1921, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, likely within the last 5 years, as evidenced by the 'reimagined open concept chef’s kitchen' featuring all GE Café appliances, modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, and contemporary lighting. The bathrooms are described as 'spa-like' with 'jetted soaking tubs' and 'double vanities,' indicating recent, luxurious updates. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout. While the absence of central air conditioning is noted as a weakness, the condition and modern styling of all visible and described components, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, are virtually new and meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Modern Chef's Kitchen: The property boasts a reimagined open-concept chef’s kitchen featuring GE Café appliances, a breakfast bar with dual refrigerated beverage drawers, and a 5-burner gas cooktop, ideal for entertaining.
Versatile Living Spaces: Multiple flexible areas including a natural light-filled sunroom, an expansive upstairs den with surround sound, and a vaulted flex space currently used as an office/studio, offer diverse lifestyle options.
ADU Potential & Ample Parking: A detached garage with a workbench presents a strong opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), complemented by a long gated driveway accommodating multiple vehicles or RVs.
Architectural Charm & Character: Retains heart-captivating Craftsman elements such as rich tongue-and-groove ceilings, hallmark picture-frame windows, and warm wood floors, blended with contemporary accents.
Prime Pasadena Location: Nestled in Pasadena Heights, the home offers excellent proximity to local amenities including coffee shops, parks, Eaton Canyon, Old Town Pasadena, Trader Joe’s, and the Gold Line Metro Station.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance: Built in 1921, the property, despite renovations, may still present potential maintenance considerations related to its original infrastructure, such as plumbing, electrical, or foundation systems.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The detailed description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in Southern California, especially with numerous skylights.
Limited Outdoor Amenities: While featuring a grassy backyard and a mature lemon tree, the outdoor space lacks more elaborate amenities like a pool, spa, or extensive hardscaping often desired in properties at this price point.
