About this home
A Rare Gem in Bungalow Heaven
Nestled along a picturesque, tree-lined street in Pasadena’s coveted Bungalow Heaven Landmark District, this charming Craftsman bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's architectural heritage. Built in 1911, the home captures the warmth, character, and timeless appeal of a bygone era, offering an inviting setting for those who appreciate historic architecture and the opportunity to make it their own.
Inside, natural light fills the living spaces, creating a welcoming atmosphere that complements the home's early twentieth-century origins. Rich in character and possibility, the residence offers a canvas for thoughtful updates and personal touches while honoring the architectural charm that makes this neighborhood so distinctive.
Beyond its historic appeal, several important improvements are already in place, including copper plumbing throughout, a sewer line upgraded in 2022, a roof approximately three years old, and a 200-amp electrical service panel. These meaningful updates provide a valuable foundation for the home's next chapter.
One of the property's most compelling features is its expansive 8,797-square-foot lot. The generous, private backyard offers room to create a lush garden retreat, host gatherings, or design an inviting outdoor living space. The lot also offers the opportunity to explore a future full-size accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to city requirements, historic preservation guidelines, and necessary approvals.
Bungalow Heaven is celebrated for its distinctive Craftsman architecture, mature trees, and enduring neighborhood character. Just a short walk from McDonald Park, the home enjoys a peaceful residential setting with Pasadena's restaurants, shops, cultural attractions, and everyday conveniences within easy reach.
More than a home, this is an invitation to preserve a piece of Pasadena's past while imagining what comes next. A special opportunity to embrace historic charm, create something personal, and make your mark in one of the city's most treasured neighborhoods....
