About This Home

As of March 2021

This 1921 one-story traditional home is located in the Landmark District of Madison Heights and is on the market for the first time in nearly 30 years. The facade suggests a quaint and cozy bungalow, but with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths opening to a quarter acre flat lot, the property feels quite generous once inside. Lovingly maintained by the current owners, the residence includes: laundry room, butlers pantry, eat-in kitchen, formal dining, formal living, large den and finished attic space for storage or playroom. There is a covered deck off the main living space which overlooks the pool and large grassy yard. Also includes: detached garage, 2 fireplaces, mature trees and perimeter hedging. A rare opportunity in one of the most desirable Pasadena neighborhoods.
