This classic 1911 Craftsman is located on a wide, tree lined street in Pasadena's highly sought after Bungalow Heaven. Configured as two bedrooms plus a bonus room, this home blends original details with thoughtful updates for today's modern lifestyle. Set on an expansive 8,799 square foot lot, the layout offers a direct sightline from the front door to the deep, private backyard, creating a space that feels open, grounded, and inspiring. Inside, the open floor plan is filled with natural light and features light oak wood flooring throughout. The welcoming living room showcases exposed wood ceiling beams, Art Nouveau Tiffany-style stained glass light fixtures, and a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen includes butcher block counters and a new Kohler cast iron porcelain sink, balancing character with functionality. The bathroom features an elegant pedestal sink paired with classic brass fixtures. Upgrades to the roof, sewer, waste lines, and electrical systems offer peace of mind for the next owner. A long driveway leads to a detached one car garage. The generous lot and expansive backyard offer flexibility and long term potential, including the possibility of a future ADU, pool, two car garage, or expansion of the existing floor plan. Mature landscaping, drip irrigation, and sprinklers enhance the grounds, while palm trees frame the home with standout curb appeal. The location is exceptional, with nearby shopping, hiking trails, the Rose Bowl, Huntington Gardens, and a children's park just up the street, along with close proximity to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods Market, Erewhon, Urth Caff, Cedars-Sinai Huntington Hospital, and Old Town Pasadena. A rare opportunity to own a timeless Craftsman on a generous lot in one of Pasadena's most cherished neighborhoods.
