3810 Shadow Grove RD Pasadena, CA 91107

Set on a gently curving lane, on the second largest lot in coveted Lower Hastings, is this beautiful traditional style 4 bedroom home. Clapboard siding, soft black shutters and a red door hint of Nantucket, while the front yard orchard is all native California (awarded the Golden Arrow by Pasadena Beautiful Foundation). A gracious entry welcomes guests into the spacious living room, appointed with a fireplace and a wall of library shelving. The north exposure offers views of the mountains. Adjacent is the heart of the home, the kitchen, great room and dining room, all open to each other and all featuring wood beamed ceilings and natural light provided by south and west facing French doors. The kitchen boasts high-end GE appliances, a six burner stove, a wine fridge, and built-in convection/microwave with a warming drawer below. This is truly a space for daily gathering and entertaining. Wood cabinets and stone countertops add to the warmth of the room. Dine by firelight in the dining room or sip tea in the bay window niche with display shelves. The sun-filled family room opens onto the covered brick patio, a lovely spot for morning coffee or dining al fresco. The primary suite is a perfect sanctuary with a walk-in closet and charming bath. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as an office. A separate mud room at the driveway and a laundry room between the secondary bedrooms complete the interior. The private, tree-studded yard is California living at its best, offering many spaces in which to entertain and relax. There are two lawns, vegetable boxes, a central firepit, multiple patios for dining or lounging, and a salt-water pool anchored by an arbored-patio draped with wisteria. Above the charming 2-car garage is a bonus room for an art studio, home gym or play room. A 'Little Library,' registered to the home, sits at the end of the driveway, to be curated by the new owner. Truly a special property!
