2574 East Villa Street
This English Tudor cottage in East Pasadena oozes with charm and owner upgrades. Built in 1930 on a corner lot close to Victory Park and the popular Daisy Villa neighborhood, this 4-bedroom, 1-bath home with over 1,600 square feet of living space has been upgraded and respected for nearly 100 years. The dramatic living room with a barrel ceiling, vintage tile hearth and surround, and a high-end stencil overlay on the hardwood floors replicating an inlay pattern sets the stage for a home that has been lavished with style. The kitchen has been re-crafted with a pantry, center island, and high-end appliances, without losing space for a separate eating area adjacent to the formal dining room. French doors open to a side terrace and immaculate destination areas, including fountains, patios with interlocking pavers and gardens, providing your culinary extras. Three downstairs bedrooms share a common hallway and full bath, and a surprising original 4th bedroom is accessed by a tucked away stairway to the upper floor, which can potentially be expanded into the high-pitched roof lines to create a sensational primary retreat. This property offers a detached garage with a gated entry and an electric car charging station. Well-developed and curated beyond expectation, this cottage provides ample square footage, quality and character well beyond the typical entry-level home in the greater Pasadena marketplace.
