Upon approach one's immediately impressed with the expansive oak tree and two-car oversized carport with EV charger that together form the perfect privacy wall for the well recessed main residence. Proceeding down the paved path to the main home, you're surrounded by mature gardens of lavender and rosemary as you pass the approximately 200sq.ft. fully wired bonus studio with sound insulation. Floor-to-ceiling windows immediately impress as you approach the rich wood front door that opens into the large living room with stone fireplace facade. The dining area opens to the backyard with double French doors as well as to both the living room and kitchen, creating an incredible great room concept ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. New stainless appliances, quartz counters, designer tile backsplash and three person breakfast counter make this an ideal kitchen for gatherings of all sizes. Primary suite with full bath adorned with chic square wall tile opens to the quaint front patio that enjoys mountain views. The three bedrooms, separated by the hallway to provide the utmost privacy, boast picturesque windows and ample closet space. Other features include tankless water heater, large laundry room, recessed lighting and brand new hardwood flooring, light fixtures and interior paint. This is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home in serene environs adjacent to many of Pasadena's favorites including Alice's Dog Park, Hasting's Ranch, Floatfest (post Rose Parade float viewing) and major freeways.
