Description
An exceptionally rare gem coming to market for the first time in over 65 years, situated on the most walkable, desirable street in Madison Heights -- directly across from the historic Albert Einstein house.This Italian Period Revival was completed in 1920 by 24-year-old Miles Stone, rated 'good' construction quality by the Pasadena City Assessor -- the highest mark on their scale. That rating has held up for over a century. The City of Pasadena has recognized this property as a contributor to the potential Madison Heights Landmark District, a neighborhood of architectural significance and enduring appeal.The bones are genuine and the craftsmanship extraordinary: original hardwood floors, gorgeous crown and plaster moldings, a stunning fireplace mantle, and a tiled roof that speak to the graceful proportions that defined the Italian Revival style's Pasadena heyday -- details simply not found in homes built today.Spread across 3,400 square feet, the layout is as livable as it is classic. The main floor offers a formal living room, formal dining room, breakfast room, wet bar, kitchen, service porch, and a fabulous great room -- all flowing together to create seamless indoor/outdoor living and effortless entertaining. A fifth bedroom and full bathroom complete the main floor. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms include a Jack and Jill bathroom, an additional full bathroom, and a private half bath in the main bedroom. Step out onto the second-floor terrace to take in the treetops and unwind at the end of the day.Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard is framed by mature trees that lend the property a timeless, established character -- beautiful, relaxing, and made for gathering. A two-car detached garage with a generous attached storage room completes the offering.When the house was first advertised, it was described as having 'unusual attractiveness' and being 'artistic, substantial, and pleasing.'Over a century later -- and with a lifetime of memories still waiting to be made -- the description still fits.
