About This Home

As of August 2021

Situated behind the gate and enveloped by stately towering trees sits this one-of-a-kind California Craftsman built in 1909 by the Heineman Brothers. The sprawling grounds set a tone for peace, seclusion, and serenity. An entertainer's dream, upon entry from the expansive covered front sitting porch, one can stroll seamlessly through the large living room, sitting room, and dining area, which leads right into a Chef's kitchen that's drenched in California sunshine. A separate laundry area and bonus kitchen eating area opens directly to a quintessential covered back porch that begs for relaxing and dining al fresco. Retreat to the second level where you will find a cozy sitting area, three bedrooms, three Japanese-inspired bathrooms, and the principal bedroom, which boasts a cedar walk-in closet area and ensuite overlooking the backyard. The top floor offers a mini studio with separate exterior access. Lastly, a 3-car garage offers an ADU opportunity and in addition, the RM-12 zoning allows for future development. Abundant possibilities await at this special property mere minutes from the Rose Bowl and Old Town Pasadena.
