The generous lot and expansive backyard offer flexibility and long term potential, including the possibility of a future ADU, pool, two car garage, or expansion of the existing floor plan. Mature landscaping, drip irrigation, and sprinklers enhance the grounds, while palm trees frame the home with standout curb appeal. The location is exceptional, with nearby shopping, hiking trails, the Rose Bowl, Huntington Gardens, and a children's park just up the street, along with close proximity to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods Market, Erewhon, Urth Caff, Cedars-Sinai Huntington Hospital, and Old Town Pasadena.
