PASADENA DREAM ESTATE IN THE MAKING! With enough space to build a dream on, this classic 5 bedroom, 2 bath, 1926 home with a sprawling 1/3 acre lot in its elegant Northeast Pasadena neighborhood of Casa Grande is built for graceful living. Gorgeous hardwood flooring sets the stage for this gracious home which is flooded with natural light. A party-sized living room leads to a formal dining room with a wall of French doors for indoor/outdoor living. The spacious kitchen adorned with a plethora of vintage 50's cabinets adjoins an adorable breakfast room also perfect for romantic dinners or additional holiday dining. 4 of the bedrooms and the 2 baths are off the center hall floor plan, while the 5th bedroom makes the perfect home office with a separate entrance from the front porch. Closet space is excellent, the primary bedroom has a cedar lined closet and a dressing area with a built in vanity, and even the California style basement has built-ins! The many upgrades include solar, tankless water heater, newer electrical and dual zone heating and air, newer roof, and bolted foundation. There's just enough tweaking left over to put your stamp on this one-of-a-kind home. Besides having a long front porch where you can laze the days away and commune with your neighbors, the 15,000 sq ft lot with beautiful mature trees has huge front and back lawns, a large cement back patio, a 2 car garage off Orange Grove in the front and an additional larger garage off Crawford Alley in the rear. Just think of the expansion and luxury amenity possibilities! Conveniently a few minutes away from gourmet dining, the farmer's market, Old Pasadena, human and dog parks, hiking in Eaton Canyon, PCC, Cal Tech, shopping, fine theatre, and the floats from the Rose Parade! On the market for the first time in about 30 years, this home is a genuine treat to discover. Come explore and try it on for size! Please note the two chandeliers are not included.
