1304 El Cerrito CIR

If there is one word that can truly describe this home, it would be Majestic. The home was built in the 1930s by George C. Brennan, an architect, developer, and original owner, who designed this and several other Spanish and French style properties throughout El Cerrito Circle and South Pasadena. He was also the pioneer for the small park in the center of the beautiful cul-de-sac directly in front of the homes in this small community. Currently, this unique multi-story Spanish Revival has been owned by the same family since the 1960s and remains as it was nearly 60 years ago, providing touches of vintage sophistication. The grand step-down living room highlights the breathtaking original details such as impressive arches, wood beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces and built-in cabinetry. The gracious formal dining room leads to the character kitchen. Charming master bedroom and full bathroom with original features, and additional two spacious bedrooms on the upper level. Elegant touches abound, including original hardwood floors, beautiful stained glass windows, ornate light fixtures, and sconces. The semi-finished basement features one bedroom, den, 3/4 bath, laundry room and a lot of storage which is not included in a living space sqft. Secluded two-level backyard ends on Meridian Street, and is a perfect sanctuary for relaxing with mature Olive, Oak and Eucalyptus trees that can all be viewed from the expansive brick patio that overlooks the back yard. The home is also one of the largest lots in the Circle, and is one the few that goes from El Cerrito and ends on Meridian. Within minutes from the highly acclaimed South Pasadena High School, and close to the charming Mission Street district, this spectacular home awaits its fortunate new owners to acquire a truly special home!!!
