About This Home

As of December 2025

Price Reduction - Welcome to 1897 Wagner Street, a classic 1920s Spanish Revival gem nestled under the canopy of mature trees in Pasadena’s highly sought-after Casa Grande neighborhood. Overflowing with character, this 2-bedroom home features rich, textured plaster walls, elegant coved ceilings, and original hardwood floors throughout—complemented by plush carpeting in the oversized living room. Natural light pours into every corner of this graciously scaled home, where nearly every room is lined with unusually large closets and charming period details. The kitchen retains its vintage soul with original tilework and cabinetry, offering a nostalgic backdrop for modern updates. The generously sized bathroom is fully functional and ready to be reimagined to suit your style. A rare California basement adds utility and storage, while the private backyard—framed by mature plantings—offers abundant space for outdoor living, gardening, or a potential garage-to-ADU conversion.
Positioned just a stone’s throw from the 210 freeway and Metro Gold Line, this location blends neighborhood tranquility with unbeatable commuter convenience. Walkable to local schools and just minutes from Pasadena’s dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, this property offers an incredible opportunity to restore and personalize a truly special home.
Whether you're drawn by the architectural charm, the generous proportions, or the promise of future potential, 1897 Wagner invites you to write its next chapter. Properties with this blend of character, space, and location are increasingly rare—don’t miss your chance to make it yours.
