Pasadena, CA 91103

Situated in the coveted Linda Vista area of Pasadena, this 1940 traditional home was meticulously renovated & expanded in 2015 by the current owner, blending classic character with modern comfort. Beyond the mature hedge, a water-wise front garden with a soothing fountain leads to a vine-draped covered front porch that welcomes one into the impressive interior where the formal living room showcases a handsome fireplace flanked by wall-to-wall custom built-in bookcases. The amazing great room unites the formal dining area, highlighted by a sparkling chandelier & a dry bar; and a true chef's dream kitchen complete with professional-grade Thermador appliances, a dramatic center island boasting a full-slab marble countertop, & abundant custom cabinetry with elegant millwork. The great room & the adjoining light-filled family room open directly to the lanai, designed as a true extension of the home featuring a stone-clad fireplace, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, & remote-control shades that allow the space to shift easily between open-air lounging and a sheltered retreat, creating a seamless flow for effortless entertaining and connection to the outdoors. This 'California room' is also accessible from the great room for a fluid transition. A spacious downstairs bedroom, two three-quarter baths, a stylish powder room, and a well-appointed laundry room and mudroom with side-yard & garage access complete the main level. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a beautifully finished hallway bath. The luxurious primary suite is the epitome of a private retreat, featuring a spacious bedroom, boutique-style dressing room with center island, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, an oversized glass shower, & a deep soaking tub framed by picturesque windows. Two sets of French doors open to a private terrace overlooking the gardens and mature trees--an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The backyard is designed with a lounging patio and built-in firepit with surrounding seating, perfect for everyday enjoyment. A manicured English garden showcases colorful blooms & an enchanting flagstone walkway, while under the shade of a majestic oak tree, a picnic area offers the perfect setting for casual meals or weekend barbecues--embodying true California indoor-outdoor living at its finest! This exceptional home stands as a testament to refined design, thoughtful updates, and the enduring appeal of one of Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods!
