This home places you just steps away from the famed neighborhood 'Triangle,' the vibrant epicenter for the iconic annual July 4th parade and a variety of spirited community socials held throughout the year. Beyond the neighborhood festivities, you are moments from the trendy 'Washington Village,' where local favorites like Millie's, Lavender & Honey, and Bacchus Kitchen create a lifestyle of convenience and charm. The residence itself is a masterful blend of classic farmhouse character and sophisticated modern luxury. Inside, the open floor plan is punctuated by high ceilings and a true chef's kitchen, complete with a prep sink, expansive counter seating, and two full-size refrigerators, making it the ultimate setting for hosting grand celebrations.The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, boasting a luxury spa-inspired shower, a deep standalone soaking tub, and a generously-sized closet featuring a custom organization system. Outside, the rear grounds feature a sprawling grassy lawn perfect for outdoor relaxation, while the front of the home is defined by a magnificent 40-foot porch. This expansive space offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy the parade or simply unwind while taking in the views of the beautiful tree-lined street. Adding immense practical value and versatility is the fully permitted 484 SF (per City of Pasadena permit records) ADU Studio completed in 2023. This ADU features a designer kitchen, its own washer/dryer, and a 3/4 bathroom, providing an ideal space for a guest, a dedicated home office, or a multipurpose room or entertaining space. This combination of character and modern amenities in a historical neighborhood is truly a rare opportunity!
