About This Home

As of October 2025

Built in 1907 by Charles Gripton as his own residence, this distinguished Arts and Craftsstyle Craftsman in Pasadena's Madison Heights Landmark District blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Set on a quiet, tree-lined block of Hudson Avenue, the home greets you with its signature river rock columns, broad front porch, and mature, drought-tolerant landscaping, a classic expression of early Pasadena design.Offering approximately 2,278 square feet, the home features four bedrooms and three baths, with three bedrooms upstairs and a flexible office or den on the main level. Inside, original wood floors, French doors, and built-in cabinetry reflect the home's heritage, while abundant natural light fills every generously proportioned room. The living room centers on a brick fireplace framed by custom shelving, flowing easily into a formal dining room with built-in sideboard and garden views.The beautifully renovated kitchen is a showstopper: bright, spacious, and impeccably finished with quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, custom white cabinetry, and striking pendant lighting. It's a perfect gathering space that marries vintage character with modern functionality.Outdoor spaces invite easy relaxation and entertaining, from the wide front porch shaded by mature trees to the brick patio and open yard at the rear. A long gated driveway and parking space provide practicality to match the home's grace.Moments from Lake Avenue's cafs, Erewhon, Trader Joe's, and neighborhood dining, this residence offers the best of Pasadena living with historic character, quiet surroundings, and walkable convenience.
