1685 Wagner Street, Pasadena, CA 91106

This 1941-built home in Pasadena's Jefferson Park is a rare offering: an updated, yet unspoiled character home with timeless details. From the approach, its traditional-style engages, with indigo-hued stucco, striking jet black shutters and brick red accents. With mountain views in the background, a cross-hipped roof and classic brick facing under a welcoming bay window, the home's charming exterior sets the stage for what's to come. Inside, glowing satin-finish white oak hardwood floors brighten the space from the ground up, flowing from the entry vestibule into the public rooms to the east, and private spaces on the west. The living room, with classic early-20th century coved ceilings, boasts a handsome stacked brick decorative fireplace with fluted molding surround. Just adjacent, find dining room, with crown molding and partial mountain views; then continue into the stylish upgraded kitchen. Updates here include stone countertops, always-classic subway tile, substantial wood open shelving, and (just-installed!) stainless steel Whirlpool appliances. Another classic bay window here boasts a custom window seat bench - a dreamy perch for morning coffee, a quiet spot to read, or company for the chef. Something to love? The floorplan here is smart -- laundry/mud room just off the kitchen opens to the back deck, as well as to the primary suite, offering convenience and ease for everyday chores. The primary bedroom here is certainly the prime spot, with french doors, en suite stylish 3/4 bath, and views of the garden and mountains in the distance. Two additional bedrooms also enjoy abundant natural light with garden and mountain views, and share a contemporary full bath with dual sink vanity and boutique hotel vibes. This home has truly realized its full potential, and the back yard is no exception: with citrus trees, fragrant ornamental plants, just the right amount of lawn, a sitting deck and flagstone-paved dining circle, this one has got it all! Finally, a spacious two-car garage offers space for parking, ADU, home office, studio or gym. Moments from Jefferson Park and the branch library, with easy access to transportation and downtown Pasadena, the world is your oyster here -- move right in and ENJOY.
