When Mr. and Mrs. Pandit were looking for just the right area to raise their only daughter they settled in Arcadia. It was 1975 and Arcadia was already well known for its schools and friendly neighborhoods. Mr. Pandit, an engineer at Ralph M. Parsons in Pasadena, loved Arcadia’s proximity to his new office and specifically loved a home on 3rd Avenue, a Traditional set on a spacious 10,500 square foot lot. The three-bedroom two-bathroom floor plan of 1,421 square feet was the perfect size for his family. After 51 years of cherished memories, including their daughter’s wedding in the backyard, it is now time for its next owner to create new ones.Off the covered front porch is the entry to the home. The entry opens directly into the central hallway and living room. On the south side of the home are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Each bedroom features large windows, nicely sized closets, and original lighting. On the north side is the third bedroom and 3/4 bathroom. The living room is in the middle and features a fireplace, access to the rear yard, and multiple windows. The kitchen includes original tiled counters, oven, and stove top with vent hood along with another dining area and separate laundry room. The nearly 1/4 acre lot is certainly one of the highlights. The front yard has been beautifully landscaped, and the rear yard offers a detached two-car garage, concrete porch, assortment of plants, roses, and trees, and a very large grassy area. Additional features include refinished hardwood flooring, new exterior and interior paint, copper plumbing, newer roof, central heating and air conditioning, and Arcadia’s award-winning schools.
