Known for his careful siting of buildings, Test situated this home on a spacious lot with a focus on privacy. The yard, enveloped in leafy treetop views, offers a flat, grassy backyard, a wisteria-covered patio & views all the way to Pasadena City Hall. This charming home features 4 bedrooms & 3 baths (note: 4th bedroom is a convertible den.) The front of the home is beautifully landscaped & centers on a huge oak tree with DG & brick pathways leading to the romantic covered front porch. Inside, Test graced the light & spacious rooms with architectural details including hardwood floors, large wood windows, french doors & 2 fireplaces. A cozy den, the updated kitchen & formal dining room offer a range of settings for entertainment. The current owners have made enhancements including a gracious master suite featuring a 3rd fireplace with a beautiful tile surround & french doors that open to a sunny deck which draws your eye out to the beautiful view. Within the master suite there is a walk-in closet & a handsome bath. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind architectural find in one of Pasadena's most coveted neighborhoods.
