    What's special

    A romantic Cape Cod style Cottage in the highly desired Marengo area, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is cozy, filled with vintage charm, and includes a yard for play, entertaining, or gardening. Enter the Living Room through a covered landing to find a full wall of custom built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors and period style windows that help fill the space with filtered light. The Vintage Retro kitchen was refreshed in 2011 & 2021, and includes a Vintage stove, recessed lighting, generous storage space, and a romantic breakfast room with corner built-in cabinets. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room with washer/dryer included, and direct access to outside. The 2 bedrooms at the back of the home have hardwood floors and updated dual paned windows. The cozy bathroom has vintage tile surrounding the tub/shower and extended counter space. A dining sized screened-in patio runs almost the full length of the back of the house, providing a generous space for sitting or serving meals to extended family and friends. The comfortably sized backyard is the perfect setting for a playground, an outdoor game zone, or perhaps an English garden! There is also a 1 car garage, currently fitted with custom storage cabinetry, and also includes a remote controlled garage door. Central Air and heat, installed in 2019, plus a convenient EV Charger, bring this cottage into the 21st Century! Garfield Park, prized by local residents, is just 1 block away, with its tennis courts, looped path, playground and rose garden. Convenient to so much, including all the cherished shops and legendary restaurants that South Pasadena has to offer, and is freeway close, without the noise. This adorable cottage is full of warmth, charm, coziness and convenience, updated for today's lifestyle, and set within one of Southern California's most desirable communities.
