Detailed Introduction Of This Home
California native plantings accentuate the obvious curb appeal of this delightful 1926 bungalow located on a quiet block in Pasadena's Craftsman Heights Landmark District. A handmade screen door with dragonfly motif highlights the classic portico entry. Gleaming hardwood floors welcome guests to the living room where Batchelder tile surrounds the centerpiece decorative fireplace with bookend original built-in cabinetry fashioned from Gumwood. Additional bungalow character details include coved ceilings and beautiful wood frame windows with both garden and mountain views. The formal dining room is a gracious space with a built-in buffet, and French doors that lead to a light filled bonus room that makes a perfect office or quiet sunroom. The updated kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry with granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Off the kitchen is an enticing breakfast nook that fills with mellow morning light. The comfortable floor plan includes two generous sized bedrooms, a full size bath with original pedestal sink and built-in storage, and a laundry room. Venture into the private backyard to find an expansive pergola covered deck with an established grapevine, lawn, and mature fig and citrus trees.
