3431 Huntington Drive

Tucked away toward the rear of a private, gated driveway shared with three other homes sits 3431 Huntington Drive -- part of East Pasadena's coveted Chapman Woods. Recently appraised at $2,771,000, this sprawling 1949 ranch home sits on nearly an acre and offers a rare opportunity to reimagine a classic within one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. Set on an expansive lot amid mature trees and timeless estates, the residence exudes charm and architectural promise. With a long, flowing floorplan, original details, and a graceful footprint, this home awaits a discerning eye to restore and elevate it. As you approach the home, a circular driveway and carport draw your attention to the low-slung lines of the residence's iconic ranch architecture. Once inside, two bedrooms and a three-quarter guest bathroom are to your left at one end of the home, as well as a primary suite complete with separate tub and shower, and French door access to the backyard. The fourth bedroom and additional attached three-quarter bath are on the opposite side of the residence and adjacent to the kitchen, where you'll find a center island with butcher block top, sleek dark perimeter countertops, pendant lighting, light cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Connecting both ends of the home are a sitting room, central living area with fireplace, and a wall of windows -- a hallmark of ranch architecture -- which offers integration with the outdoors and looks out to the rear of the property. The backyard offers a perfect foundation for exceptional outdoor living and poolside relaxation, and is sure to yield a lush, park-like setting where you'll enjoy a sense of retreat and tranquility. A true gem in a sought-after Southern California setting and just moments from the vibrant offerings in Arcadia, San Marino, and other parts of Pasadena, this is Chapman Woods at its most authentic -- quietly elegant and full of endless potential.
