About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to your next real estate romance --this charming Craftsman in Bungalow Heaven (yes, it's really called that, and yes, it lives up to the name) has been lovingly restored and is ready for its next chapter. Could it be yours?Step onto the inviting front porch--perfect for sipping coffee, waving at dog-walking neighbors, or pretending you're in a Nancy Meyers movie--and into a home that feels like a warm hug. Inside, sunlight practically throws itself across the open living and dining rooms, showing off those beautiful hardwood floors like they're on a red carpet.There are two comfy bedrooms, plus a third bonus room that's currently moonlighting as an office but could easily be a guest room, nursery, yoga retreat, or nap zone--your call. Both bathrooms feature classic clawfoot tubs, ideal for long soaks and dramatic bubble bath Instagram posts.The kitchen is a chef's dream--or at least a takeout unpacking dream--with custom cabinets, engineered quartz-stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances that shine like they just got a pep talk. Porcelain tile floors keep things classy, and the Tiffany/Mission-style lighting reminds you this home has history and taste.Need more? How about a backyard deck perfect for parties, BBQs, or pretending you're good at gardening? A solar-powered driveway gate adds cool points and security (future you will thank you), and the front and backyards are landscaped and equipped with a drip irrigation system--so your plants can thrive even if you forget they exist.Oh, and did we mention the Mills Act designation? That means you get a whopping 61% reduction in property taxes. It's basically like finding money under your couch cushions--every year.Just minutes from Old Town Pasadena, the Rose Bowl, and all the best brunch spots, like Millie's, your friends will envy. You'll only have to worry about the baby trying to escape to McDonald Park on his own! This historic gem blends vintage charm with modern upgrades in all the right places. Come see it for yourself--but be warned, you may fall in love.
