East Pasadena development, which began in 2007, offers a rare opportunity to build new homes in a desirable built-out area close to schools, shopping and recreation.

PASADENA, Calif. – Brandywine Homes announced today that it has acquired 12 lots in the 2.2-acre Estates Pasadena community in East Pasadena. Construction of the four- and five-bedroom homes will begin this month, with completion of the last home expected in May 2014.

“We are excited about this rare opportunity to build new homes in a built-out area of Pasadena,” said Dave Barisic, vice president of sales and marketing at Brandywine Homes, a pioneer of infill development in Southern California. “With the completion of this community, we are able to offer elegant family homes that reflect the charm of the surrounding neighborhood.”

The approximately 2,900- to 3,500-square foot homes at Sierra Madre Villa Avenue and East Sierra Madre Boulevard will be built in Cape Cod, Hastings English and French Provincial style and will include gourmet kitchens, luxurious master suites, inviting front porches and family-friendly open floor plans with up to five bathrooms. The homes will have authentic brick and stone exteriors and fireplaces as well as eco-friendly features including tankless water heaters, low-E glass windows and night setback automatic thermostats.
The community is less than a mile from the Foothill & Rosemead Shopping Center that includes Trader Joe’s, 24 Hour Fitness, restaurants and more. With access to excellent Pasadena schools, including Field Elementary, the community is also less than 15 minutes from Old Pasadena, Paseo Colorado Shopping Center, Norton Simon Museum, the Santa Anita race track and more.
The new homes were designed in partnership with LCRA, an award-winning architectural firm located in Old Pasadena. TCO designed the landscape, including streetscapes and entry, and Pacific Dimensions, a nationally recognized interior merchandising firm, gave each home comfortable, luxurious finishing touches.
