About this home

Nestled within Pasadena's highly coveted Historic Highlands District, this beautifully reimagined 1942 residence blends timeless character with today's most desirable upgrades. Tucked away on a quiet and charming lane off North Michigan Avenue that serves only four homes, 1856 offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility in one of Northeast Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods.Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a completely remodeled kitchen with modern cabinetry, stylish finishes, and a conveniently integrated stackable washer and dryer. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, while extensive system upgrades include updated electrical wiring and panel, recessed lighting, Uponor plumbing, central heating and air conditioning, and a tankless water heater.Original hardwood floors add warmth and character, while fresh interior and exterior paint create a crisp, move-in-ready feel. The private, fenced backyard is an inviting retreat, sprinkler system, and charming Dutch door that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. Additional improvements include an attached two-car garage with an automatic door opener and keyless front entry for added convenience.Ideally located just moments from the Altadena Golf Course, Altadena Town & Country Club, scenic hiking trails, and the vibrant East Washington Village with its beloved restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, this turnkey Highlands gem offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and an exceptional Pasadena lifestyle.
