Buyers, bring your contractor to this architecturally appealing, 1924 Colonial Revival fixer in the center of the Normandie Heights Historic District. The arched columned porch, with transom fan and sidelight windows, welcome you as you enter. A pair of matching arched windows on each side of the entry, along with two eyebrow roof dormer windows provide abundant north facing light.
This 2 bedroom, 1 bath home has many original details, vintage charm, fine woodwork, craftsmanship and a wonderful floor plan.
Enter the living room with hardwood floors, finely crafted crown/trim molding and brick fireplace. Adjacent is the dining room, from which French doors access a lovely terrace. The adjacent breakfast room can also be used as a home office, study or butler’s pantry. The well designed kitchen has all the original fine cabinetry, built in cooling pantry and ironing board, along with wall, ceiling and counter tile. It is a rare opportunity to find all original features still intact. The original owner worked for Crown City Mill and Lumber Company in Pasadena, and had access to the fine quality materials and craftspeople of the day.
The sizeable backyard provides creative possibilities for entertaining, play and gardening. Beautiful mature oak trees frame the home and provide cooling shade in warm weather. The garage at the rear corner of the lot, together with the spacious attic and basement, provide additional storage or alternative use possibilities.
