It has been a busy year on Eldora Road! Three of the forty homes have sold and now a fourth is available. Generally, there is very little movement on Eldora due mainly to the sense of community that exists here. I have called it home since 2003 and many of my neighbors have been here much longer. It is a special street and worthy of the most discerning of buyers.Our latest offering is 500 Eldora Road, a 1921 Colonial Revival designed by architect Justin F. Hastings and built by F.D. Davis & Company. Elegant, wonderfully appointed, and beautifully crafted are just a few of the attributes that make this home one-of-a-kind. The floor plan of 2,476 square feet includes three bedrooms upstairs, an office/fourth bedroom downstairs, along with three bathrooms all on a large 8,715 square foot parcel.Off the porte-cochere is the covered front porch and a wonderful place to enjoy the San Gabriel mountains and the neighbors walking along the meandering sidewalk. The formal entry includes a remodeled 1/2 bath and opens into the living room, kitchen, and stairs to the 2nd floor. The living room is spacious with multiple large windows, Batchelder fireplace, base and crown moldings, and hardwood flooring. The dining room showcases the rear yard through its picture window and offers a tray ceiling and designer lighting. The newly renovated kitchen includes ice white quartz counters, breakfast bar, stainless appliances, a butler's pantry, and a separate laundry area with access to the rear yard. The office/4th bedroom is off the living room and offers a French door to both the rear deck and living room. Upstairs are the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The front bedroom includes a walk-in closet and French windows while the rear bedroom offers multiple windows and a closet that spans the width of the room. The primary suite features a large main room, a sitting area, and a primary bathroom with shower, dual sinks, and a bathtub. The hallway bathroom has been remodeled with tiled floors and walls, large vanity, and a window.The front and rear yards have been professionally manicured and maintained with an assortment of plants, hedges, bushes, and mature trees. The rear yard has both a stone sitting area and wood deck along with a large Oak tree and spacious grassy area. Additional features include detached garage, central hvac, copper plumbing, basement, and tankless water heater.

Despite being built in 1921, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, bringing it to an 'excellent' condition. The kitchen is 'newly renovated' with ice white quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and modern cabinetry, as confirmed by the images. Both the 1/2 bath and hallway bathroom have been 'remodeled' with updated tiling, vanities, and fixtures, while the primary bathroom also appears modern and well-maintained. Key system upgrades include central HVAC, copper plumbing, and a tankless water heater, all contributing to modern functionality. The hardwood flooring throughout is in excellent condition, and light fixtures are updated. The property presents as virtually new in its critical areas, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Historic Charm & Architectural Significance: A 1921 Colonial Revival designed by architect Justin F. Hastings, offering unique character, elegant appointments, and beautiful craftsmanship that appeals to discerning buyers.
Extensive Modern Renovations: Features a newly renovated kitchen with high-end finishes (quartz, stainless appliances, butler's pantry) and remodeled bathrooms, providing modern comfort and reducing immediate upgrade needs.
Desirable Floor Plan & Versatility: The 2,476 sqft layout includes 4 bedrooms (with a flexible office/4th bedroom downstairs) and 3 bathrooms, accommodating diverse family needs and lifestyles.
Professionally Landscaped Grounds & Outdoor Living: Professionally manicured front and rear yards with mature trees, a stone sitting area, and a wood deck create inviting outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertaining.
Prime Location & Community Appeal: Situated on the 'special street' of Eldora Road in Pasadena, known for its strong sense of community and offering views of the San Gabriel mountains.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: Despite significant updates, a 1921-built home may still present ongoing maintenance typical of older properties, requiring specific care for its historic elements.
Detached Garage: The garage is detached, which can be less convenient for direct home access, especially during inclement weather, compared to an attached garage.
Traditional Layout: While elegant, the traditional floor plan with distinct living, dining, and kitchen areas may not appeal to all buyers seeking a fully open-concept modern living space.
