This single-level California mid-century ranch style home is situated in a prime Southwest Pasadena location on a nearly half acre flat lot distinguished by mature trees and well-manicured landscaping. Gated, hedged and fenced on all sides, this contemporary home was originally constructed in 1949 for Harrison Chandler and is beautifully sited on a corner lot. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with over 3,000 interior square feet of living space, the common areas feature lofted ceilings and sliding glass door passageways which open to multiple outdoor garden and entertaining spaces. The large kitchen features an eat-in bar, a stainless suite of chef's appliances and an adjacent full dining area. The bright interior offers contemporary elegance with clean lines. High quality finishes and fixtures are consistent throughout. Brick garden pathways meander through the property, accented by Magnolia, oak and redwood trees. The swimming pool integrates into the garden setting by implementing stone and shrubbery as a transition to the sprawling lawns. A pool house/casita is an ideal home office or guest retreat offering a bonus 295 square feet with a bathroom.
