What's around 1938 North Garfield Avenue

About this property

In tree-lined Northwest Pasadena, this stylishly updated home is a real estate unicorn: a light-filled Craftsman that feels both warm AND bright. Secluded behind oaks, agaves and a stately Mulberry tree, the artfully designed gardens here are both beautiful and sustainable with greywater irrigation. Follow flagstone steps on a permeable granite front path to find classic clapboard siding, elephantine column bases and solid 8-light front door with contemporary wood steps that marry modern organic stylings of the garden with the classic architectural elements of this special home. Inside, the front entry with its ribbon of double-hung sash windows and built-in window seat bench is inviting and practical for modern living. A generous living room, with coved ceilings, decorative stacked brick fireplace and dual-pane casement windows, also accomodates formal dining. The floorplan flows well here, with the sunny breakfast room and remodeled kitchen to the south, and private spaces to the north. Kitchen features marble subway tile backsplash, stone counters, stainless steel appliances and ample storage. A farmhouse sink with a leafy green view and Dutch door opening to the backyard dining deck make for happy everyday vibes. Bedrooms and baths are updated and relaxed, each bedroom enjoying its own bonus feature: access to the sunny north deck and garden; en-suite bath; or pretty views - the mountain vista from upstairs is great. The spacious primary suite with dual-sink marble vanity and rainhead shower is elegant and comfortable, but the spacious attached laundry may be the icing on the cake! Outside, gardens are private and shady with fragrant shrubs and native grasses, a sculptural tree aloe and split tree-trunk benches offering a spot for gathering. A heated plunge pool spa with sunning deck is ideal for quiet relaxation or morning yoga. Lastly, the one car garage with built-in workbench is a ready workshop, studio - the potential is endless. Located minutes from the buzzing Lincoln Avenue corridor (ice cream at Perry's Joint or the patio at Good Neighbor Bar!), Altadena's Christmas Tree Lane (the lighting this year is December 6!) and 10 minutes to the heart of old town Pasadena, this is a gorgeous property in a great location.
