About This Home

As of April 2025

The year is 1921. Albert Einstein wins the Nobel Prize in Physics, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry is born, and Howard & Hattie Frederick build a charming California Bungalow in Bungalow Heaven, Pasadena. For over a century, this historic piece of property has been exquisitely maintained, upgraded and has never gone out of style.The front porch welcomes you with its freshly painted exterior and new landscaping, adorned with a porch swing under a canopy of trees overlooking the street. Enter the home on douglas fir hardwood floors, to a cozy living room and dining room with original built-in cabinets and crown molding. The galley kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with restored cabinets, new countertops, a farm sink, added coffee bar, and is anchored by a show-stopping, fully-operational vintage gas stove. Enjoy the stacked washer and dryer in the laundry area with extra built-in storage. Retreat to the first of two bedrooms to find a magical primary suite with original sconces, a sizable walk-in closet with built-ins, and an en suite bathroom with a Toto washlet. Down the hall is another classic bathroom with updated fixtures. The second bedroom bathes in light from two windows that peer out over the private grounds. Retreat to the lavish garden on the slate patio that is perfectly appointed for morning coffee or afternoon tea. Follow the path to the mini arroyo seco to find a tranquil meditation garden with a firepit for delightful evening hangs. Continue along the pathway with newly installed landscape lighting to the secluded hot tub area perfect for relaxing under the stars. The detached garage features a 220 Volt EV charger, and above attic loft space for ample storage or your own design opportunity! You'll find every corner of this home has been lovingly curated and restored with today's modern conveniences yet retaining all the character and charm one expects from this pocket of Pasadena.This home stole the show on the Bungalow Heaven Home Tour with its original craftsmanship, modern upgrades, and timeless charm.
