Nestled on a wide, tree-lined street in desirable Northeast Pasadena, this beautifully improved property offers space, flexibility, and Southern California living on an expansive 10,500+ sq ft lot. Featuring a pool, basement, fully permitted detached ADU with its own address, and thoughtful updates throughout, this home is ready for its next chapter. The main home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a functional single-level layout and timeless character, including original solid wood interior doors. The recently remodeled kitchen features new cabinetry, lighting, and beautifully refinished wood flooring extending through the laundry area. Both bathrooms have been renovated, and the fireplace has been updated with a contemporary microcement finish. Additional improvements include newer Milgard windows, fresh exterior paint and trim, a newer roof, updated plumbing, central air, and interior laundry hookups. The basement provides additional storage or workshop space. Step outside to a backyard designed for Southern California living and entertaining, complete with a renovated pool, newer pool deck, spacious stone barbecue area, and newly completed concrete throughout the driveway and backyard. Fresh gates enhance both the driveway and dog run, while thoughtfully updated landscaping includes California native and drought-tolerant plants, a new timed irrigation system, fresh lawn, and Podocarpus trees creating added greenery and privacy around the pool. A driveway with direct access from Paloma Street adds another unique and convenient feature to the property. The city-permitted studio ADU, completed approximately 1.5 years ago, features a full kitchen with full-size appliances, peninsula seating, full bathroom with laundry hookups, and mini-split HVAC. It also includes alley access and a covered carport, ideal for extended family, guests, a home office, or additional income potential. All of this in a central Pasadena location with convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, schools, and major freeways, while still enjoying the charm of an established residential neighborhood. With a generous lot, pool, ADU, and extensive improvements already completed, this is a home that offers room to live, gather, and grow.
