Delightfully bright and charming 1920s bungalow in much-sought-after Garvanza neighborhood. Beautiful original casement windows and hardwood floors, vintage details throughout, wonderful indoor-outdoor flow and a very private feeling. Sweet kitchen with butcher block countertops, Bertazonni oven, and vintage tiles. Spacious bathroom with clawfoot tub. Copper plumbing, tankless water heater, check! The bedrooms spill onto an impressive redwood deck and three-level terraced backyard, perfect for entertaining and relaxing. Stroll up to the tool hut, then to a pristine writer’s shed with a bird’s eye view of the neighborhood. Finished 2-car garage is perfect for studio, rec room, or whatever your heart desires. Walk just a few short blocks to famed Amara Kitchen and Garvanza Park, and a few more to ultra hip Figueroa St., home to Kitchen Mouse, Highland Park Bowl, Café Birdi, Highland Park Theater, and more. In the other direction lies the lovely San Rafael neighborhood of Pasadena, Little Flower Candy Company,  the gorgeous trails, stables, and playgrounds of the Arroyo Seco. Easy access to downtown, the 110, 210, and 134 freeways, five minutes from the Rose Bowl.
