This single-level 1923 Mediterranean bungalow is in the heart of Pasadena's popular Madison Heights neighborhood on a spectacular deep lot. Well-suited to entry-level homebuyers, downsizers or developers, this property has tremendous potential for expansion. The arched front door opens to a tiled entry hall. The living room and dining room are connected by a large doorway with views to the back patio and gardens beyond. The festively tiled kitchen includes a rear laundry area and 1/2 bath. The primary bedroom is at the rear of the house and has sliding doors opening to the patio. An upgraded hallway bath includes a double vanity with a marble top, a sizeable stall shower with a seating area and a glass enclosure which keeps the bathroom bright. Hardwood floors run throughout this home, adding to the charm and coziness. An additional ensuite bedroom offers a 3/4 bath. The 3rd assessed bedroom is currently being used as a den. The expansive rear bricked patio leads to an epic lawn with yet another patio area anchoring the yard. There is a tremendous amount of foliage, with privacy hedges, mature trees, and a host of unique plantings. A detached garage is currently used as a workroom and storage. This home is in a convenient location with proximity to Old Town, South Lake shopping, markets and restaurants, parks, freeways, metro service and is just a brief commute to downtown LA.
