A finished detached garage adds further versatility, ideal as a studio, workshop, or gym.Notable upgrades include solar panels for energy efficiency, a whole-house water softener, newer condenser, refinished wood floors, new attic insulation (2025), new roof (2025), dual-pane windows, and an EV charger outlet.Centrally located, this home is minutes from the Rose Bowl, Brookside Park, Old Town Pasadena, Lake Avenue shopping and dining, Caltech, and cultural landmarks, offering the perfect blend of Pasadena's architectural heritage and modern living.
