Authentic Mid-Century View home in Pasadena’s sought-after San Rafael Hills, designed by local prolific builder Ken E. Kenny in 1951, thoughtfully embraces the mid-century vibe, privacy, and hillside setting that define this remarkable neighborhood. Featuring a generous Living room with a decorative fireplace, casual dining area with views, eat-in kitchen, den and comfortable bedrooms and easy backyard access, it is available for the first time since 1963! The living room has architectural flair and retains its original wood built in shelving, long views to the Monterey Hills, and space for multiple sitting areas. The vintage kitchen is full of original charm, featuring its original wall oven, tile counters and a cozy butcher block eating counter. The den has views to the Eagle Rock hills and provides direct access to the flat yard and rear covered patio area, creating an opportunity for true indoor-outdoor living. The main bedroom highlights a wall of built in closets, plenty of space for a sitting area and its own 3/4 bath. The additional 2 bedrooms bring in plenty of morning light and share an original tile full bathroom. Beautiful original hardwood floors, as well as a laundry room with service sink add to the retro-charm of the home, while the 2014 installed AC unit and partial newer windows make it ready for additional updates. A 2 car garage below the living area provides direct access to a large work room that has potential for being turned into a work-from-home space, gym or hobby room. The grassy back yard highlights the incredible view and includes a dining size covered patio for evenings of reading, socializing and enjoying the Southern California weather. Set on the rarely available Tamarac Drive in the San Rafael Hills, with its decades long prominent reputation, it is quiet but so close to all that Pasadena, South Pasadena, Eagle Rock and Highland Park have to offer. The mid-century character, great views and stellar location of this well loved home makes it a rare and excellent opportunity to write its next chapter!
