A Private Oasis: so close & yet so far away…
Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street with majestic mountain views, this re-imagined mid- century Pasadena home is on a private lot filled with fruit trees and an urban garden. Beautiful wooden garage doors with 3 matching side gates combine with the graceful curves of a circular driveway to create a striking street presence for this Spanish- inspired home.
Throughout the home are stunning cherry wood floors: the beauty is accented by natural light pouring in through the large dual-paned windows and glass French doors. The solid wood custom cabinetry and travertine floors in the kitchen & bathrooms underscore the quality craftsmanship in this home. The floor plan is designed for true family living: a formal entry opens to the great room, with a decorative fireplace and a formal dining area. The French doors open to the lovely rose gardens & decorative plantings.
The kitchen is well designed with an abundance of wood cabinetry. The appliances include a Forno range, refrigerator with three separate compartments and a Bosch dishwasher. The charming breakfast nook, complete with a solid wood table & custom corner benches, provides an informal dining area and additional storage. There is covered access to the 2-car garage and a large patio area with pergola, perfect for alfresco dining.
The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are on a separate wing. The primary suite is set apart, offering total privacy. The elegant ensuite bathroom features a soaking tub, separate shower and dual sinks. There is an oversized walk-in closet and a built-in linen cabinet. With sliders to a lovely outdoor seating area, it is the perfect place to relax and indulge in the private setting.
The two secondary bedrooms are good-sized. They share a large bathroom which includes a tub/shower combo plus a separate shower as well as dual sinks. The well-designed layout includes built-in cabinets, a pantry closet, and stacked washer/dryer; everything has its place.
The home boasts a fully walled-in backyard hidden behind 12-foot hedges, which creates an oasis of tranquility and privacy, while keeping pets and kids penned-in! A meandering walkway lined with fragrant roses and jasmine leads to an urban gardener’s dream: raised beds that invite you to indulge your green thumb or, just exercise it a bit as you pick fresh fruit from the myriad fruit-bearing trees including two Meyer lemons, blood orange, Valencia orange, sweet Mexican lime, plum, mango and Macadamia nut. All yours to enjoy as you relax and gaze at the majestic San Gabriel mountains.
