This English Cottage style home is in the gorgeous ''Arroyo'' pocket area of South Pasadena, adjacent to the prestigious estate area of Pasadena and not far from the famous Pasadena Rose Bowl. This desirable area is one of South Pasadena's best kept secrets. The front yard is elevated from the street level, presenting an abundance of curb appeal, and is surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping. The formal foyer allows graceful access to the main rooms and is the entrance to the staircase which leads to the bedrooms. The expansive living room with high ceilings, artistic tiled fireplace and stunning alcove adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows, creates a bright and inviting living space. The formal dining room features twin arched built-in China cabinets, French windows, and a convenient pass-through window to the updated kitchen, which offers ample storage, counter space, and easy access to the outdoor patio. The L-shaped family room/den boasts a wall of built-in bookshelves, a large picture window and French doors that lead to the oasis-like backyard. Upstairs, there are three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing comfortable and private spaces for relaxation with treetop and mountain views. Outside, the backyard beckons with a pergola-covered patio, firepit seating area, a cabana with TV and a sparkling pool & spa, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or simple leisure living. This home seamlessly blends 1923 charm with today's modern comforts, offering a serene retreat in a coveted location. South Pasadena is known for its award-winning Blue Ribbon Schools, South Pasadena Farmers Market, Gold Line, and convenient location to downtown LA.
