Tucked into a tranquil pocket of Pasadena, this beautifully reimagined 1927 English Tudor bungalow pairs original architectural character with thoughtful updates and a wonderful connection to the outdoors. Set on a street-to-street lot behind a charming picket fence and lush landscaping, the property offers a private and serene setting. A welcoming front porch leads into light-filled interiors rich with warmth and character, including hardwood floors, original oversized picture windows, and graceful archways. The inviting living room features a decorative fireplace with a custom alder wood mantel, handmade tile detailing, and a built-in sofa. Large windows frame views of the surrounding greenery, while an adjoining side patio offers a lovely extension of the living space. Through an original archway, the formal dining room connects to a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring Carrara marble countertops, alder floating shelves, a cast iron apron-front sink, pot filler, and whole-house water filtration system. Three well-proportioned bedrooms enjoy abundant natural light and garden views, while a full bathroom with beautifully preserved original tile floors and a powder room with a laundry area complete the interiors. Outside, mature landscaping creates a private garden retreat, with a charming covered lanai offering an inviting space for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing among the greenery. The one-car garage, accessed through distinctive barn doors, is currently used as a creative studio and includes an EV charging outlet. Additional parking, a spacious attic, California basement, and under-house storage offer exceptional flexibility. Ideally located just moments from La Pintoresca Park and the La Pintoresca Branch Library, as well as the vibrant shops and restaurants of Pasadena and Altadena, this special property offers a beautiful balance of historic character, thoughtful design, and indoor-outdoor California living.
