It opens up into a formal dining room, also with a Solatube, that leads to an enclosed sun room porch through French, sliding glass doors.
The kitchen has recently been updated with granite counter tops, new sink, faucet, garbage disposal and newer energy efficient vinyl windows. A serving window opens into the dining room and makes it a pleasure to entertain and captures the character of this 1925 home perfectly.
A generous front bedroom features french windows, hardwood floors and paneled walls which are a beautiful addition to this home’s atmosphere. The second bedroom with its large windows creates a tranquil environment and is serviced by a full bathroom with period cabinetry and yellow tile.

A private yard with many fruit trees including Meyer Lemon, Avocado – the tastier ‘Fuerte’ variety, Apple, Satsuma Mandarin, Pomegranate, Guava, Fig, and Blood Orange truly highlight the joy of living in Pasadena where everything grows year round!
