About This Home
As of July 2022Built in 1908, this beautiful Craftsman Bungalow is located in the heart of Pasadena's Bungalow Heaven and is on the national registry for historic homes. This 3bd/1.5ba character home has been updated and upgraded to really show true pride of ownership. Original details and period correct materials abound throughout this wonderful home and includes built-ins, hardwood floors, stained wood trim work, double-hung windows, five-panel doors, and a gorgeous brick fireplace. The rooms include a large formal dining room, a completely renovated eat-in kitchen with chef's grade appliances, along with upgraded bathrooms. Other amenities include a seamless laundry area, central heat/air, and a detached two-car carriage house that has been beautifully restored with sliding shaker doors and an open trellis ceiling with abundant lighting. The carriage house is perfect for a workshop or office. The outdoor spaces of this 7,500 sqft lot truly make the property unique. The yards are meticulously landscaped and include wonderful detail and hardscaping while also feeling lush and wild at the same time. The backyard is a magical place and holds bountiful raised planter beds, California Native plantings, covered patio off of the carriage house, fire pit, custom swing set and arguably the most beautiful rainwater capture system in Southern California. This property is not just a home, but a peaceful retreat. Convenient proximity to downtown Pasadena with great shopping, restaurants and more.
