Tucked behind a white picket fence on a spacious corner lot in Normandie Heights, 640 E Rio Grande Street captures the essence of joyful Pasadena living. This picture-perfect home is lovingly updated throughout and offers a smart layout, allowing everyday life to feel both effortless and refined. From the curb, a manicured front yard hints at the beauty within, while a charming dutch door invites you to enter. Inside, newly added antique-style finishes, custom millwork, exposed ceiling beams, and updated bathrooms are just a few of the thoughtful touches that give the home its fresh, elevated feel. The flowing floor plan moves effortlessly from the living room to the dining area and kitchen. Complete with new lighting, a marble-topped island, checkered tile floors, and a double oven, the kitchen is both stylish and functional. The generous dining area ensures there's room for everyone, while the spacious living room sets the scene for relaxed evenings and game nights. Placed at the end of the hallway for added privacy, the primary suite features its own walk-in closet and newly updated ensuite bath. The other two bedrooms are bright and cheerful, with another updated bath conveniently nestled between. For lounging in the sun with an ice-cold glass of lemonade, the side yard offers a generous stretch of lawn, enclosed by a dense privacy hedge. Just two blocks from Washington Park and moments from Pinocchio's Pizza along with other beloved neighborhood favorites, 640 E Rio Grande Street offers a peaceful slice of the good life.
