Vintage 1920's streetlights, meandering sidewalks, and canopied trees are just a few things that make Eldora Road so unique. What makes it special are the assortment of character homes and neighbors who know each by name. I know that because I've called it home since 2003. I've raised 4 daughters here and have always enjoyed the annual block parties, Christmas caroling, Halloween gatherings, and daily conversations. It truly is a wonderful place to call home. Our latest offering is 512 Eldora Road; a 1938 Traditional with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 2,004 sf on a large 9,270 sf parcel. In 2021, the owner commissioned design firm Sherwood-Kypreos to reconfigure the floor plan and extensively remodel the entire home. They seemingly spared no expense in doing so. Every surface was touched and the attention to detail unmatched. The result is a stunning floor plan and a beautiful portrayal of the Traditional style. The formal entry opens into the living room which includes wicker light fixtures, built-in bookcases, a fireplace, and a large bay window with views of the San Gabriels. The dining room has a set of French doors, multiple windows, and a beautiful light fixture. The kitchen is one of the homes' highlights with the Wolfe range as its centerpiece. Open upper cabinets, custom lower cabinets, gold plated fixtures, tiled backsplash, and stainless appliances finish off the space. Off the central hallway are the three bedrooms, powder room, and family room. The front and rear bedrooms include spacious closets, wall sconces, and large windows. The jack and jill bathroom offers dual vanities, black fixtures, and a bathtub. The primary bedroom offers a nicely sized closet and its own bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub, two sinks, spacious shower, and tiled flooring. At the end of the hallway is the family room and access to the rear yard through the Dutch door. Both the front and rear yards have been beautifully landscaped with an assortment of plants, vegetation, privacy hedges, and trees. The gated driveway leads to the detached two-car garage and pool area. The rear yard also includes a Pergola adorned with growing vines and access to the 223 sf bonus room behind the garage. Additional features include a separate laundry room and a newer roof. 512 Eldora Road is one of those homes you need to see in person to truly appreciate. It is a wonderful opportunity for a very fortunate buyer.

Eldora Road is one of Pasadena's hidden treasures. Its assortment of character homes, meandering sidewalks, vintage 1920's streetlights, and mature trees are wonderful but what makes the street so special are its occupants. Annual Christmas caroling, Halloween gatherings, block parties, and just daily conversation is what makes the street so inviting. It's latest offering is a classic Traditional of just over 2,000 square feet on a large lot of 9,270 square feet. For nearly 17 years, the current owners have been great stewards of the home. During their tenure, they updated both the interior and exterior extensively. The interior included a major kitchen remodel, a renovated hallway bathroom, refinished hardwood flooring, and a fresh coat of paint. The installed two front Pergola's, a new driveway, and professional landscaping to the front exterior and that theme in the rear yard with another Pergola and patio, landscaping, fountain, and updated the pool with new plaster, coping, tile, and equipment. Off the formal entry is the living room. The space includes a large bay window with mountain views, recessed lighting, built-in bookcase, and a fireplace. The formal dining room includes two windows, a large chandelier, and access to the kitchen.

The master bedroom is spacious and offers its own master bathroom with double sinks, enclosed shower, and large window showcasing the rear yard. Off the rear bedroom is the family room. The family room includes another fireplace and direct access to the rear yard.
