Looking for a rare, single-level Pasadena Craftsman that is completely updated and fully double-gated for total privacy? Tucked into the historic Normandie Heights neighborhood, this meticulously maintained home is the ultimate 'right-size' solution for those downsizing or seeking a secure, gated yard for pets and play. This isn't a project; it's a move-in-ready sanctuary where architectural heritage meets a modern kitchen, hardwood floors, and a true primary suite.The property is designed for a creative, flexible lifestyle. The long, flat driveway offers ample parking and leads to a detached garage converted into a professional artist studio. Fully wired for HDMI and featuring custom cabinetry, this space is ideal for a home office or a future ADU. The studio opens to a private pergola, creating a secluded outdoor 'room' perfect for entertaining. Just off the kitchen, the driveway expands into a casual fire-pit area, while a private spa is tucked away in the rear corner for quiet relaxation.Beyond the classic built-ins and 1920s charm, the 'heavy lifting' is already done: updated bathrooms, modern systems, and replaced windows throughout. You are steps from the iconic Camphor tree canopy of a neighborhood favored by Hollywood film scouts, yet minutes from the best of Pasadena and Altadena. If you've been searching for a secure, one-story home with a versatile studio and authentic character, this is the one.
