First time on the market in over 68 years and nestled in the desirable Historic Highlands Neighborhood of Pasadena you will find this gorgeous Craftsman style home circa 1912.

Throughout the home are the original finishes and hardware such as Oak, Maple, Dough fir wood floors, glass door knobs and other unique vintage finishes. Upon entering you find your self in the foyer with plenty of closet space. The large formal living room retains its original architectural details such as the granite rock fireplace, bookcase cabinet with the original leaded glass doors and beams on the ceiling are features you do not see in homes today. Next, from the formal living room, you will find your den, a perfect size room for a sectional sofa and your modern flat screen TV where the family can gather to enjoy Saturday night movies. As you wander into the dining room, you can’t help but notice the original built-in buffet and china display cabinets along with the beam detail on the ceiling. The galley style eat-in kitchen has views of the expansive backyard and is awaiting your design ideas to make it your own! The large master suite is located on the main level and has its private master bathroom and walk-in closet. Upstairs you will find three very large bedrooms, a den/sewing room or kids playroom (use your imagination for its multiple uses), and a large bathroom. Bedroom 1 at the front of the house has views of the San Gabriel Valley mountains, and when capped with snow the view is amazing! Bedroom 2 has a large sunroom attached, and its uses are endless. Bedroom 3 is a relaxing room with plenty of shade from the mature trees just outside. You will also find a small sitting deck at the rear of the house that overlooks the backyard. There is a large basement with laundry hook-ups and plenty of storage space. This fabulous home and all of it's amenities sit on over a 1/4 of an acre (12,106sq.ft per assessor), so you will have no problem finding a place for your pool or sports court! This is indeed an exceptional property.
