First time on the market since 1972. This spectacular piece of property is on a 16,000+ Sq. Ft. lot and offers your own private sanctuary in one of Pasadena's most desirable locations. Built in 1947, this 3BR/2BA home has a desirable floor plan with a new roof and HVAC in 2016. You enter into the LR with a fireplace which is open to the dining area and kitchen. The dining area has large picture windows and a door to the backyard. The master suite is on one side of the house with sliding glass doors to the back and the other 2 bedrooms and bath are on the opposite side of the house with the living area between them. There is access to the back from sliding glass doors in bedroom #3. The backyard is surrounded by mature trees for privacy and the topography is quite dramatic with large flat areas in addition to a mini canyon with a large deck extending over that on the west side of the yard. If you love to entertain, this property offers many wonderful opportunities. It would be a delight to have your coffee out back every morning and enjoy your own ''little Arboretum''. There is great potential to make this home something special as the natural setting is already there. If you want to find something special in the San Rafael Hills, this is absolutely it!
