1422 Maple St

Welcome to this lovely 1937 South Pasadena three-bedroom, two-bath home elevated off the street with a discreet and serene garden court entry. The spacious front porch greets you with its vintage bench swing; framed and filled by the distinctive foliage of Ice Blue Podocarpus, succulents amidst the decorative rock garden, and highlighted by the delicate yellow flowers of the Desert Museum Palo Verde tree. The formal entry leads to an expansive living room with original hardwood floors, fireplace, and an oversized picture window. Double glass doors draw you into a cheery sunroom (added to the home in 1953) with original casement windows and skylights. Depending on the occasion and mood, you can entertain friends and family in the generous formal dining room, or simply enjoy a cozy meal in the sunny breakfast nook. The kitchen maintains its intended character with a vintage stove and original can-o-mat and ice-o-mat appliances mounted to the painted wood cabinets. Conveniently there's a great walk-in pantry just off the adjacent laundry area. The kitchen also boasts a new Whirlpool Refrigerator and dishwasher. Both bedrooms toward the front of the home are flooded with natural light and spacious walk-in closets. Fantastic closet space and storage throughout. A long driveway that leads to a separate 1-car garage and considerable size backyard with endless possibilities and mature water-wise plants. Located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with award-winning South Pasadena Schools, this is the special home you've been waiting for.
