Description
Gracefully positioned along the coveted banks of the Arroyo Seco in southwest Pasadena, this exceptional 1909 Swiss chalet Craftsman residence, built by William H. Smith, offers a rare blend of timeless character and natural beauty. Set on a generous lot, the property feels like a serene retreat while remaining just moments from Old Town Pasadena. The home's welcoming presence is immediately felt through classic architectural details, a broad front porch, and a setting that reflects its rich history. Custom woodwork and light-filled interiors create a warm atmosphere, while the home's natural flow lends itself to both comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The foyer leads to a living room anchored by a striking fireplace and a dining room highlighted by Craftsman millwork details including the shallow coffered beam ceiling and classic wall panel molding. A breakfast area opens to the spacious and thoughtfully designed kitchen. The wood-paneled family room with skylights overlooks the verdant backyard and pool. This home offers four bedrooms, one full bath and one 3/4 bath all conveniently located upstairs, in addition to one 3/4 bath on the lower level. The primary bedroom features an ensuite bath and French doors that open to a large patio overlooking the Arroyo. The home also features owned solar panels, offering added energy efficiency and cost savings. Outdoors, the grounds are equally inviting, with mature trees, gardens, and patios designed for gatherings and entertaining. A swimming pool and tranquil arroyo stone koi pond further enhance the park like setting. Located in one of Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that seamlessly blends historic charm, livability, and an idyllic natural setting.
