Step into this welcoming Mesa ranch and you'll instantly know why it's been treasured by the same owner for almost thirty years. From the formal living room with expansive 32-pane bay window and fireplace to sweeping family and sun rooms that open directly to the pool and spa, every step welcomes you home. In the kitchen, a long run of honey-toned wood cabinetry flows to an open laundry and a sunny breakfast/dining room with French doors leading to the outside patio. Three bedrooms and two baths add to the indoor amenities. The back yard is a lovely gathering spot where covered porches and broad open patios surround a shimmering dark-toned pool and spa. Soaring mature trees shade the leafy 30,404 square foot lot. Central HVAC, new full interior paint plus exterior trim, and a roomy three-car garage complete the setting. Kinneloa Mesa is a secluded enclave overlooking Pasadena from the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Historically, the area may comprise part or all of the ranch of noted real estate developer and conservationist Abbot Kinney, who established the early timberland reserve that would later become the Angeles National Forest. In 1880, he purchased acreage above Pasadena and named it Kinneloa. Today, the combination of peaceful mountain scenery and access to city life in the Kinneloa Mesa area is unique. The quiet, bucolic setting is just fifteen minutes from Old Town Pasadena and less than 5 minutes from the vibrant Hastings Ranch Plaza shopping destination and the 210 Freeway.
