***Thank you for your response to this home. All Offers due Wednesday April 8th by 9:30am. No showings on Wednesday.*** Here's the home you've been waiting for to match your love of adventure, uniqueness, charm and authenticity, and it's in the best neighborhood imaginable, South Pasadena! This 1920's storybook English, sprinkled with some fun Spanish/Early California touches, is so much like a castle in the sky, and hasn't been on the market since the 60's. Come delight in the joy of experiencing a real character home, untouched by white paint, granite countertops and luxury vinyl flooring. That in itself is enough reason to visit. Are there some updates to be done? Sure, but there is nothing like a home that has been dearly nurtured, pampered and strengthened for so many years by the same loving owner, and this owner has been a stickler for details. Enter the gate below, wind up the stairway and pass through the front seating porch to discover a living room with high ceilings, a large fireplace, and a dining area. Diamond-paned windows overlooking long range pastoral views and furniture built for the home enhance this large space. Turn to your left and you'll enter the country kitchen with custom built cabinets, a breakfast area and a side door leading to a perfect spot for alfresco dining. Back in the house and at the top of the stairs ahead of you are the 3 bedrooms and one bath down a center hallway. Come see how almost every room has a personality of its own and beautiful views. The master bedroom has built-ins, a walk in closet and a door that leads to a large deck which winds around the property and affords more viewing spots. Another bedroom with built-ins, also affectionately called the craft room, leads to a large and beautiful covered patio in the backyard. Perhaps your favorite room might be the room at the top of the stairs with a built-in bed underneath a window where Rapunzel herself might let down her hair, or through which a budding young prince might survey his South Pasadena kingdom-to-be. Speaking of South Pasadena, nothing could be finer than the A+ schools here and quaint Mission Street! But wait, what happens if we turn to the right from the living room downstairs? Surprise! There's your very own CANTINA with a gorgeous bar, tables and chairs if you need that extra sustenance or if you have a love of great parties, which this house has seen in its heyday. Apparently all the neighbors used to come here to have a great time. Along one wall of the cantina are windows lit in blue at night which overlook part of the backyard called "the desert" with cacti and concrete desert creatures. Along the hallway at the back of the cantina is a secret half bathroom, just where you need it the most! Throughout the house are amazing doors and character details that will make you think you're at the Tam O'Shanter at Christmas listening to the carolers at your table. Before you leave, check out the basement level of the house which has a large workshop with saw and more storage than you will probably ever need (goodbye public storage!). A BONUS ROOM in the basement could make a great office. ***And to top it all off, this sale also includes a separate legal lot next door (APN 5310-022-006), for a total lot size of approx. 8700 sq feet! Be sure to write that in your offer!***
