Welcome to 1919 Marengo Avenue, a beautifully updated South Pasadena Craftsman with abundant natural light and plenty of space for you to grow into. This tastefully reimagined residence rests in the La France Craftsman District where pride-of-ownership character homes and tree-lined streets create an idyllic neighborhood, ideal for planting roots. Inside, timeless original character has been thoughtfully imbued with a fresh, modern aesthetic. Just off the foyer, the living room is filled with soft natural light from a large picture window. Exposed beam ceilings, handsome built-ins, and an oversized fireplace create a warm and welcoming gathering space. A graceful flow leads to the dining room where intricate woodwork and additional built-ins set the stage for connection and conversation. Bright and open, the kitchen features Thermador appliances, a large island with breakfast bar seating, and elegant Quartz countertops. Whether prepping a holiday feast or weekend pancakes, this space naturally brings everybody together. Just beyond, the inviting family room features a wall of sliding glass doors that fully open to a shaded backyard patio. Two versatile, light-filled bedrooms complete the main level, along with a den and full bathroom. Upstairs, the primary suite offers tall ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a luxurious spa bath with a floating dual vanity and soaking tub. You'll treasure your restorative time in this peaceful escape. Two additional bright and comfortable bedrooms share a well-appointed hallway bath. Outside, the backyard is designed for both entertaining and relaxation, with an outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in grill and prep sink, multiple areas for lounging and dining, and plenty of space to gather with friends and family. Additional features include a detached two-car garage, fully owned solar panels, an EV charger, and thoughtful interior and exterior improvements completed between 2019 and 2021. Blending classic Craftsman character with modern comfort in one of South Pasadena's most beloved neighborhoods, 1919 Marengo Avenue is a home that you'll cherish for years to come.
