Pasadena Residence
Nestled on a street-to-street lot in Pasadena, this exquisite 1927 English Tudor bungalow exudes tranquility. Enclosed by a picket fence and lush, mature landscaping, including an 80-year-old camellia bush, the property offers a secluded retreat while conveniently located close to Pasadena’s renowned shops and restaurants.
The front porch invites guests into light-filled living spaces featuring ebonized hardwood oak floors, original oversized pocket windows, and an abundance of charm. The elegant living room, framed by windows with views of banana leaf palms, seamlessly transitions to a sun-drenched side patio, ideal for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
An archway leads to the adjoining formal dining room, which seamlessly flows into the meticulously designed kitchen. A chef’s dream, the kitchen boasts Carrara countertops and floor tiles, Bosch appliances, a Kohler enameled cast iron apron sink, pot filler, and ample cabinet storage.
Three generously sized bedrooms, two of which bask in the captivating Southern light, offer stunning views of palm tree vistas. The chic main bathroom features Restoration Hardware lighting, a sink and medicine cabinet, and the original tile floor. A thoughtfully designed powder room and laundry room complete the interior.
The outdoor oasis has been meticulously transformed, reflecting the same attention to detail as the interior. Olive and palo verde trees, bougainvillea, Mexican sage, and lavender adorn the grounds. The private, fully gated, and hedged backyard boasts an impressive covered lanai, perfect for weekend brunches and outdoor dinners. Red barn doors lead to the spacious one-car garage, currently utilized as a fitness room with the potential to be repurposed as a creative space.
