555 Michigan BL Pasadena CA 91107 MLS #P1-26842

Located on one of the few true boulevards in Pasadena in the Michillinda Park neighborhood adjacent to Chapman Woods, this beautiful Spanish hacienda beckons. The new owner will treasure the space – nearly 1/2 acre of flat land; the ambiance of the Deodars lining the median of the Boulevard; the privacy of entering from the private alley through a remote-controlled gate; the utility of the 3-car garage; the independence of the detached studio apartment; and especially the rustic elegance of the spacious house. Entering across the wrought iron gated front porch, through the archway and opening the large wooden door you find yourself in a high-ceilinged living room with hardwood floors, large fireplace and dark wood built-ins and beams. Flow into the dining room streaming with natural light and accented by crown molding. The kitchen is adjacent and replete with stainless appliances, a granite-topped eating bar and a calming color scheme of grey and peach. Stroll into the family room with its fireplace, wood ceilings and wall of windows facing the back patio. It has direct access to the living room and to the primary bedroom suite. This suite looks out onto the back yard and includes a private bath with stall shower, period tile and a window for natural light and air. The other two large bedrooms are off the living room and are served by a full bath. The entire interior has a fresh coat of paint and newly refinished or polished floors. The exteriors of the house, garage and studio all have a new coat of paint. There is a wonderful garden area with a massive avocado tree that provides fruit and shade to the back patio where the new owner will BBQ, relax and enjoy the spaciousness of the surroundings. Across the patio is the studio complete with its own kitchen and bath and ready to receive that out-of-town guest, the mother-in-law or perhaps a tenant. For the car enthusiast or handyman, the 3-car garage will be heaven on earth! And guests or an RV can find plenty of parking on the expansive concrete parking area. Kids, adults and guests will all build long-lasting memories in the back yard where soccer, football or almost any other activity can be enjoyed. Yes, this is a unique property for anyone looking for that special place with room to roam and grow.
