A historic and charming Pasadena Craftsman

Tucked into the historic charm of Northeast Pasadena, this quintessential and rare Craftsman home rests on an expansive park-like corner lot in one of the city's most picturesque and architecturally rich neighborhoods. With its wide, tree-lined streets, vintage lamp posts, and impeccably maintained period homes, the neighborhood reflects Pasadena's enduring legacy of timeless design and community pride. From the moment you arrive, the home's storied character is unmistakable. A deep, welcoming front porch supported by tapered columns, a wide gabled roof, a charming custom stained glass front door, exterior wood siding and a prominent chimney with river rock detailing evoke an era of handcrafted beauty. Due to its charm and character, this home has been featured in several commercials. Original oak floors gleam across the main level, where large wood sash windows frame views of lush gardens and mountains beyond. The spacious entry and formal living room are anchored by a striking picture window, a gas fireplace & mantel and original built-in wood cabinetry and trim. The adjacent formal dining room, flooded with natural light, features classic board and batten paneling and built-in window seating which creates a warm and elevated space. The kitchen has been tastefully modernized with new Carrera Gold quartz countertops, new flooring, recessed lighting, abundant cabinetry and ample counter space. The area opens seamlessly into a light-filled family room, an ideal gathering spot with access to the backyard for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each offering mountain or garden views and a plethora of unexpected storage options. The backyard has been transformed into a private retreat, with a flagstone-covered patio, an outdoor kitchen for al fresco dining, and a flat, grassy lawn perfect for play or relaxation. A true entertainer's delight. The detached two-car garage features an attached finished 142 sq. ft. (taped)
