2034 Marengo

Nestled among some of South Pasadena's most distinguished residences, this timeless English-style home beautifully blends classic architectural charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Extensively renovated and expanded by the seller in 2019 with approximately $278,000 in improvements (per seller; buyer to verify), the property is in excellent move-in-ready condition—offering an inviting living experience in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. The 2019 project added a bedroom and a full bathroom (approx. 510 sq ft, per seller; buyer to verify square footage and permits) and touched nearly every system in the home. Improvements include copper re-piping, a new 200-amp electrical panel with whole-house rewiring, a new 5-ton central A/C system with a Nest thermostat, a new 30-year asphalt-shingle roof, improved wall insulation, and all-new doors and windows—delivering comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. Inside, engineered hardwood flooring flows throughout, complemented by a tastefully remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry and counters, and updated bathrooms with new tile, vanities, and fixtures. A gracious formal dining room creates the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The home offers four comfortable bedrooms and three updated bathrooms, plus a separate laundry room for added convenience. Step outside to a generous, fully fenced backyard offering exceptional privacy and endless possibilities—with ample room for a future pool, outdoor entertaining, or a garden retreat (buyer to verify feasibility). A motorized gate, a detached two-car garage with a Level 2 EV charger, and an additional workshop/storage shed provide valuable flexibility and modern functionality. Ideally located just a few doors from Alhambra Park and within a highly regarded South Pasadena school district (buyer to verify school assignment and boundaries), with outstanding access to nearby conveniences and commuter routes. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated architectural gem in the heart of South Pasadena—where timeless character, modern comfort, and an exceptional location come together seamlessly.
