Located in the North Pasadena Heights Historic District, this English Country Cottage revival home was built in 1923. Architecturally, it is extremely unique in several ways. The recessed open entry is highlighted by an arched doorway accented with brick trim. A single panel arched entrance door with a stained glass panel waits beyond. One enters into the living room which is flooded with light from the many tall windows. Two exceptional features of the public rooms are the high coved ceilings that are ringed with picture moldings below plaster egg and dart crown moulding which recedes into the rectangular ceilings and the French doors from both the living room and dining room that lead to outdoor patios. The latter feature is rarely seen in smaller homes, where access to the yard is generally only available through the kitchen or service porch. The sensitively updated kitchen offers adequate counter space, stainless appliances and a breakfast area. There are two bedrooms in the main house. The primary in the rear, which directly accesses a 1/2 bath, has a large easily accessible closet and French doors with a Juliet balcony. Separated by a period appropriate full bathroom, the front bedroom has an abundance of windows and is accented by a curved Palladian window facing the front garden and is shielded by mature shrubs. In addition to the main house is a permitted finished studio with storage room that measures 477 sq. ft. It would make an ideal ADU conversion, A finished two car garage, with garden access, is entered through the driveway from Dunham Alley in the rear. There is a charming rustic potting shed for the avid gardener, who will delight in the large, well landscaped front and back gardens. This property is literally a fairytale cottage awaiting the next enchanted owner.
