    What's special

    Charming 1941 Traditional in Pasadena offering timeless character, wonderful natural light, and an inviting sense of home. Set on a generous 6,418-square-foot lot, this two-bedroom, one-bath residence offers 917 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space and has been freshly painted inside and out. Hardwood floors flow through the main living areas, beginning with a light-filled living room anchored by a classic brick fireplace and framed by original multi-pane windows. An arched opening leads to the separate dining room, creating a warm and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. The vintage kitchen retains much of its original charm, including abundant cabinetry and tile countertops, while a separate laundry room adds convenience. Period details and built-in hallway storage further reflect the home's 1940s character. Both bedrooms feature hardwood floors, and the bright full bath includes a pedestal sink and tiled tub and shower. Outside, drought-tolerant landscaping enhances the front yard and complements the home's classic Traditional facade. A covered rear porch opens to an expansive, private backyard shaded by mature landscaping, with plenty of space for gardening, entertaining, play, or creating your own outdoor retreat. A long driveway leads to the detached garage, providing additional parking and storage. Located on an inviting residential street in Pasadena, this delightful property combines original character, a substantial lot, and tremendous potential. Move in and enjoy its vintage charm today or bring your own vision and create something truly special.
