About This Home

As of June 2019

This 1912 Craftsman in Historic Garfield Heights is an immaculate example of the style in its construction, its renovation, & its preservation.

The kitchen remodel opens up the floor plan while staying true to the heart of the home with custom oak cabinets built by a master cabinetmaker. The expansive master suite features oak floors, a luxuriously updated bath with marble countertops, & two walk-in closets. A mud room & a California basement offer additional storage space on top of the home's generous layout. An easy to maintain yard & spacious driveway flank the two-car detached garage which has been converted to a recording studio & work space. The home boasts a new roof, new chimney, new water heater, & retrofitted foundation. 981 Worcester is situated just a short distance from Old Town Pasadena & the Rose Bowl.
