1406 Stratford Ave

Set behind a canopy of mature shade trees on a classic South Pasadena street, this thoughtfully renovated single-story cottage — updated under permit through the City of South Pasadena — pairs traditional character with an entirely reimagined interior. Inside, light oak-toned flooring flows throughout an open living and dining plan. The living room is anchored by a fireplace with a wood mantel and flanked by built-in shelving. The dining area seamlessly connects the living room and the kitchen. A sunroom just off the living area offers flexible space to use as an office or a sunny breakfast room, featuring a beamed ceiling and black-framed French doors on all sides that open to garden views. The kitchen is finished with two-tone shaker cabinetry — crisp white uppers paired with white oak lowers — topped with white quartz countertops that carry up as a full-slab backsplash behind the gas range. A brass rail with hanging hooks flanks the range hood, while a bronze floral wallpaper accent wall anchors the farmhouse sink beneath a pair of brass sconces. A peninsula with seating for three, a stainless refrigerator, ample storage, and brass hardware throughout complete the space. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a generous closet and a black-framed French door opening directly to the backyard, along with an ensuite bath featuring a dusted-mauve accent wall, a mix of chrome and brass fixtures, and a walk-in shower clad in vertically stacked ceramic tile with a marble niche. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath with its own distinct design identity: sage green ceramic tile at the tub surround, a penny-round mosaic floor, a caramel-toned vanity, and brushed gold fixtures. Outside, a freshly landscaped backyard shaded by a sprawling, mature oak tree creates a tranquil, private setting for outdoor living. A detached garage with a storage room rounds out the exterior. The renovation also brought a new roof on both the main house and garage, a new HVAC system, a new electrical panel, a new tankless gas water heater, and foundation and plumbing repairs. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in South Pasadena, the home offers easy access to Mission Street's shops and restaurants, the Gold Line, and the city's noted schools — a rare pairing of classic character and comprehensively updated systems.
