216 Fairview Avenue

See history come alive in this three-bed/one bath, single-story Craftsman with its glass and brass doorknobs, back on the market after many years. Built in the 1920s, this home is set back from the street with its gabled front porch greeting visitors from beneath a multi-gabled roof. Vibrant red bottlebrush and a mature oak adorn the front yard and off to the side, a paved driveway leads to the unattached garage in the fully-fenced backyard. Just inside, the living room's large airy windows and central fireplace illuminate the room, set off by hardwood floors and simple molding. A sitting room/bedroom leads to the living room and formal dining room with wainscoting & a period light fixture, followed by a quaint kitchen and laundry room.Off the central hallway are two bedrooms: the primary with its five windows to bring in natural light and a door opening to the backyard. A full bath and spacious walk-in closet separate the primary from the second bedroom which looks out to the side yard. Additional features include two paved patio areas for outdoor seating and a grassy area in the backyard with mature trees offering quietude and solace. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street that dead-ends to cars but is open to foot traffic, this property evokes South Pasadena's ties to the past while offering access to great schools, parks and eateries in a city known for its world-class public safety.
