We are 4 miles straight shot down the street to the Rose Bowl and minutes to Old Town Pasadena. A PERFECT home away from home location!! Great for people relocating to the area and house hunting or going through home renovations.
This 3 bdrm/2 bath charming and cozy yet elegant English Cottage style home is located in the desirable neighborhood of northeast Pasadena. This home speaks of comfort and warmth from the moment you step through the front door. The living room is spacious with lots of windows and a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room has a beautiful table which seats up to 8 and boasts French doors leading out to the charming brick porch-a perfect place to enjoy a glass of lemonade while taking in the mountain views. The eat-in kitchen nook is sunny and bright and a wonderful place to have your morning coffee. The laundry room is conveniently located off the kitchen. There are 2 bdrms and a 3rd bedroom acts as a den/tv room with 55' flat screen Smart TV with Direct TV have beautiful French doors which lead to the charming backyard patio. The den also has a very comfortable queen sized sofa bed. Entertaining is a delight as the backyard has a brick patio perfect with a BBQ for eating alfresco and a lush garden with fruit trees, roses, 2 loaded oranges trees, lemon, pomegranate tree and a wonderful avocado tree!

The house is within walking distance to Victory Park/Sierra Madre Blvd where the Rose Bowl floats are displayed for the two days following the Parade.
Situated on a beautiful, quiet, wide tree lined street in the North East area of Pasadena facing the beautiful San Gabriel mountains.. . .very safe, friendly neighborhood. The house has a large sunny backyard that is perfect for entertaining on the brick patio area with lots of comfortable seating and outdoor dining.
There are six fruit trees, 2 large orange tress loaded for your freshly squeezed morning orange juice! Lemon, avocado and pomegranate tree. Numerous rose bushes (of course!).
Old Town Pasadena and The Rose Bowl are just a few minutes away... Just minutes to the 210 Fwy entrance. Los Angeles is 10 miles south on the 110 Freeway, the beaches are 25 miles south and west. 20 minutes from the Burbank Airport, Close to CalTech and the famous Huntington Gardens, 15 minutes from Santa Anita racetrack and Los Angeles Arboretum. There is also a Los Angeles Metro station less than half a mile away (the Allen stop on the Gold Line).
Please also note - I have a guesthouse the "Rose Cottage" I built on the property in the past year - as I travel a lot for work - I se this as my base when I am in town - and might be there during your stay. The guesthouse is VERY private with front and back fences - and this has NO impact on your use of the house, driveway, patio, BBQ or backyard - those are all yours to use.
The house is within walking distance to Victory Park/Sierra Madre Blvd where the Rose Bowl floats are displayed for the two days following the Parade. There is also a local farmers market near the park every Saturday morning with local grown fruits, veggies and bakery items.
I am very happy to negotiate a competitive, great rate if you are seeking longer than a month.

The host was amazing, very communicative!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We had a great stay at Marla’s charming home in Pasadena. Needed a short term refuge as a result of displacement from the fire and Marla’s home had everything we needed to make our stay easy and comfortable! She was also so easy to communicate with and very welcoming and hospitable. Lovely quiet neighborhood in a great location with easy access to all we needed in Pasadena/Altadena. Wonderful property with a great host!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
We really enjoyed our stay. I’m sorry we didn’t have more time to spend there. The whole place was very comfortable and beautifully restored. We live in a 1920’s house and love older homes. Marla did such a nice job with keeping so many of the original details while at the same time updating the important parts. The roses were in full bloom and lovely, as was the sweet smelling jasmine. Thank you for a quiet and comfortable place to lay our heads after a busy day.

We really enjoyed the Pasadena Cottage. The location is fantastic and lovely. Marla was very good at communicating with us. The property front and backyards are very nice to spend time in.
