The design-centric real estate firm deasy/penner&partners has chosen 520 Bellmore Way as the Real Estate Pick of the Week.
This handsome Monterey Revival home was built in 1935 for Louise G. Gamble, daughter-in-law of the famed Gamble family. Located adjacent to the historic Prospect Park neighborhood of Pasadena within close proximity of the Rose Bowl and excellent freeway access, the home is 3125 square feet and is sited on an approximate 11,000 square foot lot. The stately facade has a strong New Orleans-Colonial influence with a second story wrap-around balcony. The traditional floorplan features a formal living room with a fireplace, built in bookcases and french doors to both the front porch and the back patio. The formal dining room with wainscoting also enjoys french doors to the back patio and is attached to a butlers pantry. The kitchen features a 6-burner Wolf range, an additional built-in wall oven, built-in microwave, warming drawer and a Traulsen professional restaurant grade refrigerator. A first floor bedroom and bathroom are located just off of the kitchen as well as a spacious family room with a welcoming fireplace. The beautiful center staircase leads to the second floor where two bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath and a master bedroom suite which enjoys an additional fireplace with a raised hearth and doors to both the front balcony and a rear balcony overlooking the yard. The backyard is comprised of a brick patio and large grassy area – a wonderful space for entertaining. This charming and historic home is a true Pasadena gem.
