This timeless French cottage greets you with a lush rose garden and stunning curb appeal on a wide, tree-lined street in one of Pasadena's most charming neighborhoods. Step through the welcoming entrance into a living room filled with light flowing in from original windows, elegant coved ceilings, and an inviting brick fireplace. The living room flows effortlessly into a dining room with coved ceilings and direct access to a covered terrace, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is the center of the home, with custom cabinetry, dual sinks, stainless steel appliances, and an extensive island for gathering. The first floor offers an ensuite bedroom with its own private bath, plus two additional bedrooms (one that flexes well as a den), and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, original wood floors, and a dual-vanity ensuite bath finished with beautiful tiling. A walk-in closet, custom cabinetry, and ample storage round out the space. The expansive backyard offers a number of spaces to entertain, including the covered terrace, an alcove with decomposed granite perfect for outdoor dining, and a grassy yard spanning the width of the lot. A thoughtful 2020 renovation touched nearly every system in the home: plumbing, sewer line, water heater, electrical panel, HVAC, and a refinished basement. Other features include hardwood floors throughout, updated windows and doors, custom brick work, fresh landscaping with irrigation, a 2-car garage, stacked laundry, and a new mini-split in the primary suite for added comfort. Close to Victory Park with easy access to the 210, this move-in-ready gem is a rare find in a location that's hard to beat. A must-see in the heart of Pasadena.
