1625 N El Molino AVE Pasadena, CA 91104

Hidden in plain sight on a tree-lined block in Pasadena's historic Normandie Heights, this 1922 Bungalow with bonus guest quarters is its own resort-like destination. A handsome yet unassuming Mission-style facade boasts a stepped parapet roof and decorative wooden viga tails with Spanish-tiled entrance porch and window overhangs. Original and beautiful architectural details include prairie-style glass doors and casement windows throughout, plus mission style doorways, window casings and headers. The main house offers a light-filled living room with a decorative fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, which flows into the central dining room. An inspired updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and gorgeous office (or generous pantry) offers convenience for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Two bedrooms on the north side of the house are lovely and feel special, as well as stylish full bath with soaking tub, rain shower and original leaded glass clerestory window. Don't miss the genius placement of stacking laundry within the bathroom cabinetry! A light-filled den opens to fabulous outdoor living and dining rooms with a lush garden that offers the perfect ratio of shade to sun. The capacity for life-style offered by these clever outdoor rooms is limitless. Backyard guest quarters feature an additional generous updated bath as well as a sitting room and additional laundry, and flow to a private exercise patio. This property is truly magical, with so many places to enjoy in privacy, spaces to entertain and quiet spots to soak up inspiration.
