Pasadena, CA91104

Nestled above the street for added privacy and presence, this beautifully reimagined early 20th-century home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Believed to date back to 1906—and possibly even earlier, as original building permits are no longer on file—the residence carries a rich sense of history that adds to its unique appeal. Set on an expansive lot, the property offers a true outdoor retreat complete with a sparkling pool, lush garden spaces, and room to relax, entertain, or play. Thoughtfully designed landscaping highlights native, butterfly-attracting plants, creating a vibrant and ever-changing natural setting. The grounds are dotted with a curated collection of mature trees, including olive, redbud, acacia, palo verde, and Chinese elm, along with fruit-bearing varieties such as clementine, Meyer lemon, and a producing grapefruit tree—plus additional lemon and avocado trees—offering both beauty and bounty. Inside, the home features a wonderful sense of flow, with generously sized bedrooms—each with its own ensuite bathroom—providing comfort and flexibility for everyday living or hosting guests. The detached garage has been thoughtfully finished and is currently used as an art studio, offering a versatile space ideal for creative pursuits, a home office, or potential flex use. Architecturally rooted in vernacular design with subtle Craftsman influences, the home retains its historic charm while benefiting from decades of thoughtful improvements, including a substantial enlargement in 1991 that shaped its current footprint. The current owners have further enhanced the home with significant upgrades, elevating both style and function throughout. A rare blend of heritage, character, and modern livability—offering a truly special place to call home.
