This elegant two-bedroom house in Pasadena occupies a coveted corner position along Clairmont and El Molino Avenue. Built in 1941, this English cottage and Tudor house mix spreads across 1,229 square feet with generously proportioned bedrooms, an expansive living room with high vaulted ceilings, and a luminous dining room flanked by rows of original steel casement windows on three sides. A large front yard separates and frames the front of the house from the street while the enclosed backyard has two wooden decks purpose-built for entertaining while relaxing in the shade of the mature sweet-gum tree outside. As you walk along the winding footpath to the front of the house, you walk past the front lawn which is edged by rows of Japanese Boxwoods. As you enter the living room with its extra- height vaulted ceiling, you'll notice the original dark-toned hardwood flooring runs underfoot alongside a fireplace flanked by pairs of craftsmen-style windows and built-in bookshelves and cabinetry. The large steel casement windows here echo the ones found in the impressive dining room where you'll find white-washed wood-paneling reflecting the abundant light from windows lining 3-sides of the room. Here you are free to enjoy views of the expansive landscape of neighborhood magnolia trees and the ample front lawn. Past the dining room, you enter the granite-topped kitchen with abundant counter space throughout, a gas stove, and recessed led ceiling lighting. From here you can look out over the wide sink onto the backyard and the shade provided by the large sweet-gum tree. The half-bathroom is conveniently located adjacent and just through the small hallway which leads to a custom glass-topped backdoor also finished with Emtek hardware and a bespoke Medeco lock. At the other end of the house, a long bright hallway with a cozy nook welcomes you to the rest of the home. An integrated Nest thermostat and one of the Nest smoke alarms are situated here keeping you safe and comfortable. On your left a door opens to the large primary bedroom which is painted in a warm-neutral while maintaining the white trim found throughout the house. With a modern ceiling fan and a large row of original closets there are enormous storage opportunities. Further down the corridor you'll find plenty of additional closets and storage space, as well as the washer and dryer. The large family bathroom is found at the end of the hallway with preserved original windows, a full bath and shower, and original tiling. Accessed from the hallway you come to the lovely guest room which is large enough to serve as a secondary bedroom or office. The double windows create a bright atmosphere and frame calming views over the backyard plantings and trees. A small walk-in wardrobe is accentuated with its own privacy window. Nestled next to the house and accessed from the enclosed backyard is a semi- detached garage with ample parking for one car and storage. The attic is also accessed from within the garage and provides for even more extensive storage. The house is situated on the edge of the Washington Square Landmark District and is within striking distance of an abundant number of restaurants, bakeries, delis, coffee shops, and pharmacies. The newly renovated and quiet Washington Park is less than a minutes walk away while the many stores, restaurants, and theaters of Old Town Pasadena are only a short 8 minute drive away. Local favorites include Roma Delicatessen, Seed Bakery, La Caravana, and The Reyn Diner while other hot spots like Vroman's Books, Millie's, Namaste Spiceland and Lavender & Honey are a stone's throw away. Neighboring grocers like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the newly opened Erewhon are all within easy reach.
