665 E Ladera Street

665 E Ladera is a rare jewel in the heart of Northeast Pasadena - the perfect blend of timeless 1920s Craftsman character and updated modern convenience! Find yourself whiling away the afternoon on the welcoming front porch, where a trellis of lush wisteria blooms purple in the springtime. Behind the solid oak front door and working sidelites you'll find a home that radiates old-world charm, boasting original hardwood floors, hand-crafted stained glass windows, and a fully functional wood/gas fireplace, lovingly restored with an eye for the era. Spend evenings entertaining friends in the formal dining room accented by an original 1922 built-in buffet and French doors that lead to a secluded patio. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, wall-to-wall cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, and a giant picture window overlooking year-round greenery. As functional as it is beautiful, the home boasts energy-efficient upgrades like new insulation, doors, and windows, central A/C and heat, tankless water heater, a spacious CA basement and a detached one-car garage with laundry enclave and working mechanic's lift. The back yard is a private, versatile oasis that facilitates the best of indoor/outdoor living: dine under the bougainvillea, enjoy fruit from mature trees, or pour drinks under the lights of your very own covered bar! Close to the shops and restaurants on Lake Blvd. and all the fun in Old Town, 665 E Ladera is the quintessential Pasadena Craftsman dream come true!
