676 Norwood Dr Pasadena, CA 91105

Sited in the heart of the prestigious Southwest district of Pasadena, this quintessential 2-story colonial gem is studded with architectural interest and design. Built in 1916, this unique offering perfectly represents Pasadena's gentrified past while showcasing all of today's modern amenities. The renovation was designed by David Serrurier and is a true example of an unparalleled attention to detail, including a thoughtfully re-imagined floor plan featuring French glass doors and windows and custom cabinetry, wide, long, and hand-scraped solid white oak floors, reclaimed European vintage marble flooring found at the entry, powder room, and fireplace, gas-lit exterior light fixtures, and state-of-the-art systems throughout. The living room with original picture-hanging molding, a newly re-built fireplace, adjoining library with a marble-topped wet bar, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, combine to offer an expectational home for entertaining.The cook's kitchen and dining room with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, farm sink, nickel fixtures, and an adjacent walk-in pantry are centered around a custom-made marble-topped island that opens to the family room and a Mark Bartos designed reclaimed-brick patio and garden. The second floor of the residence features 3-bedrooms and 2- bathrooms. The sumptuous primary suite with a walk-in dressing room and spa-like marble bathroom with dual sinks and a separate tub and shower is a welcome retreat. Framed by mature specimen trees of Crepe Myrtle, California Oaks, and Olive in scale with the classic architecture. The gardens are a tranquil and secluded haven blessed with areas of sunshine and shade and offer blooming trees, shrubs, and vines throughout the seasons. Not a single detail was overlooked; not an additional upgrade is needed.
