Spotlighted by period touches and modern updates, this Craftsman Bungalow just might answer your dreams. Nestled in northwest Pasadena — near the landmark Rose Bowl Stadium and not far from the 16-block, turn-of-the-century Bungalow Heaven district — the structure was built way back in 1912, but has been completely updated by recent owners. Now on the market, it’s available for a relatively bargain-basement $895,000.

The two-bedroom, two-bath structure last sold in 2019 for $735,000. Upon arrival, be charmed by a newly landscaped yard fronting the dark gray-shingled residence, which boasts a steep gabled roof, exposed rafter tails and an inviting front porch, all complemented by an abundance of wood trimmed in a burnt orange hue.

Deasy Penner Podley has announced its strategic partnership with the real estate industry disrupter Side. To fully leverage Side’s technology, business strategy, training, and marketing, as well as brokerage infrastructural support, Deasy Penner Podley will evolve its brand, embracing the new moniker DPP.

“We are doubling down on being independent,” said George Penner, CEO of DPP. “There is an advantage of continuing to have local ownership and a community-based real estate agency while incorporating Side’s incredible reach, proprietary technology, and innovative approach to moving real estate forward.”

DPP was recently named the Most Innovative Brokerage firm by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® for its invention of plumBid and for its collaborative model that sets it apart from traditional brokerages. DPP’s specialized approach to architectural, historic, and luxury properties, including its “home as art” ethos and curated marketing efforts, will be a continued focus for the firm.

Guy Gal, co-founder and CEO of Side, said: “We are thrilled to be a partner to a legendary company like DPP and look forward to helping them provide their already extraordinary services to more people throughout the community.”

Chairman of DPP, Mike Deasy, said this of the brand name evolution: “We are taking our names off the door to elevate the names of our agents, who are the true authority in their business. We are a family and have always worked from the bottom up; everyone can have great ideas and add value. Collaboration comes from every corner, and we are ingrained within our local communities, supporting over 150 community organizations and philanthropic efforts.”

“Side’s breadth of resources will have impactful results for DPP and its clients,” said Penner. “We want to create opportunity, and this partnership provides our team with world-class engineers and brainpower to take their business to the next level. Side knows productivity best, and we can equip our existing and future agents with this advantage.”

deasypennerpodley is excited to announce Nathaniel Colbert as a new agent to our Pasadena family.

Nathaniel came to the Los Angeles area from Santa Cruz, California in 2013 to complete his bachelor’s degree in the Arts. Since then he has lived in Miracle Mile, Whittier, and Costa Mesa.

Growing up, Nathaniel and his siblings spent many lunch hours visiting their father, a general contractor, at different job sites. Whether the project had just been framed, demolished, or finished, Nathaniel was fascinated with every stage of the process. It wasn’t until living in a 1929 Spanish Revival apartment in Miracle Mile that he considered his admiration for beautiful homes to be a path to a new career.

deasypennerpodley is excited to announce Kelly Morris as a new agent to our Pasadena family.

Kelly Morris is a licensed Real Estate Agent assisting Buyers and Sellers, as a part of the Nancy Valentine team.  Kelly transitioned into Real Estate after a career in Marketing for over 11 years.  With this experience, Kelly appreciates the importance of effective and efficient marketing strategies in order to break through the clutter of the real estate market.  Kelly also believes in the value of exemplary client service and open, honest communication.

For longer that she can remember, Kelly has had a passion for Real Estate.  To her, there is joy in seeing the unique characteristics that each property has to offer – and, how that property can become a beautiful home for someone new.

Kelly’s roots in Southern California run deep.  After growing up in North County San Diego, Kelly and her family moved to Los Angeles where she has lived in Westwood, Santa Monica, and now has settled in La Canada Flintridge.

Kelly and her husband have two young children, which help her stay active in the community through school involvement, sports, and volunteering.  Kelly finds it rewarding to give back to the community that has welcomed her family so warmly.  When she’s not working or spending time with her family, you might find Kelly escaping to the beautiful trails in the Foothills area to hike with her dog, Sid.
