Hello Everyone, I don’t know about you, but I’m glad to see the weather cooling off and the sweaters coming on! This week I was hosting a broker caravan on my own listing so I wasn’t able to get out there and really see anything much, but I will do my best based on pictures since there is quite a bit out there to see! So here are the homes I think buyers should go see this weekend! 1250 E Topeka St. Pasadena $1,595,000 3bd & 2ba 1,536 sq.ft 7,519 lot Open Saturday & Sunday, 2-4 pm I will be hosting the open house on this beautiful Spanish style home over the weekend! Located in the ever popular Historic Highlands neighborhood, this charming home has all the architectural detailing you could want! It is an interesting hybrid of Spanish and Craftsman influences! The outside is all Spanish, but inside you’ll note the window and molding style is more bungalow and the built-in buffet in the dining room as well as the fireplace are definitely more craftsman. I love the mix of influences all pulled together to create this lovely home! The upgrades were done with so much attention to detail and sensitivity to the period style of the home. The primary suite is a great space with a private bath and French doors that flow out to the deck where you can while away the hours overlooking all the lush landscaping! Swing by and take a look for yourself…I’ll be there to welcome you with cookies! 2035 Monte Vista St. Pasadena $1,895,000 3bd & 3ba 2,014 sq.ft 7,508 lot Open Sunday 1-4 pm This home certainly looks like a nice English house with an amazing wood paneled ceiling in the living room. I also love the original wood stained windows in the living room and the picture window in the dining room. The kitchen and baths are still in original condition, but my opinion of the house will definitely depend on whether or not the bonus room upstairs is part of that 2000 sq.ft. If it is then the price just feels too high, but if not I like it! 2452 N Altadena Dr. Altadena $1,795,000 3bd & 2ba 2,223 sq.ft 7,551 lot Open Sunday 2-5 pm This home was definitely a pleasant surprise! It’s located on the bend of Altadena Drive where it goes from being a north/south street to an east/west street. So it is a busy street and it's near the fire zone, but still I think it’s a very nice house! It has a great open flow and I love how the living room looks out onto that private and lush backyard. The master suite is right off the front and features a very large walk-in closet and private bath. The other 2 bedrooms are also a very nice size. The upgrades aren’t the latest and greatest, but still very tasteful. Definitely worth a visit this weekend. 2074 Las Lunas St. Pasadena $1,695,000 3bd & 2ba 1,758 sq.ft 7,700 lot Open Saturday 2-4 pm This section of Las Lunas has so many striking English style homes and this one looks like an exceptional one! I would buy the house for the curb appeal alone! Those expansive windows with leaded glass detailing, French doors to the front patio and that extreme peaked roofline are so pretty! The inside doesn’t disappoint with the high ceilings, Batchelder fireplace and warm wood flooring throughout. I’m not sure how I feel about the kitchen opening up directly into the living room like that, but I like how they mimicked the arched opening to match the other arch and I like how they remodeled the kitchen. It almost feels like a nice high end flip but I can’t find that it’s ever been on the market. Anyway….beautiful house so go see it!
