Description
Built in 1903, this turn-of-the-century residence seamlessly blends Victorian elegance with early Craftsman sensibility. Thoughtfully reimagined, the home offers a timeless aesthetic, where classic architecture meets a warm, artful, and highly curated modern vision. Set on a raised foundation in one of South Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods, the home enjoys walkability to the Metro, Mission Street's cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and top-rated schools, creating a lifestyle where charm and convenience coexist effortlessly in a vibrant urban/suburban setting.Inside, the home is flooded with natural light, highlighting tall ceilings, teak flooring, and an intuitive layout that honors its early bungalow influence with modern livability. The front parlor makes a striking first impression with a dramatic three-panel floor-to-ceiling soffited window, while the seamless connection between the dining area and kitchen creates an inviting space for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Main residence offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a unique vaulted primary with amazing morning light, spa tub, and built in cosmetic lighting. Complemented by a lower-level primary walk-in closet, with additional storage in the laundry room. Outdoors, the property unfolds with intention and artistry. A handcrafted pathway, mimicking the gentle flow of a river created by a local artist, guides through thoughtfully curated gardens rich with drought tolerant native plantings, sculptural succulents, and vibrant collection of fruiting trees including kumquat, orange, lemon, lime, loquat, and olive. The rear cobblestone courtyard is a true retreat, including an ornate artisan fountain, featuring a wood-burning pizza oven, covered dining area, ample space for outdoor lounging and large starlit gatherings. A dog run along the north side of the property offers practical, well-integrated space for pets without compromising overall design. A standout feature of the property is the approx 1,000 sq ft barn-style structure, reimagined as a light-filled studio with vaulted ceilings, barn doors, and central air/heat. Currently an art studio and workspace, this versatile structure offers potential as a creative compound for personal use or an income generating unit, office, yoga studio etc. The zoning offers a myriad of opportunities. Amenities include a 2-car garage, and storage. Warm, soulful, & rich with character this home invites you to slow down, settle in & truly live.
