Property Description
A South Pasadena Treasure - Remodeled 1921 California Craftsman with Expansive Grounds & Bonus Living
Welcome to this exquisitely remodeled 1921 California Craftsman bungalow, where timeless charm meets modern-day luxury in one of South Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods. With nearly 1,300 square feet of fully updated living space, the main house offers an ideal open-concept floor plan that seamlessly connects the family room, dining area, and a beautifully renovated kitchen—all grounded by wide-plank European oak floors and bathed in natural light.
Just off the dining room, French doors lead to a romantic patio adorned with a custom pergola and twinkling café lights—perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. Beyond the main home lies an impressive bonus structure of nearly 600 square feet, complete with matching European oak flooring and full insulation. Offering two spacious rooms, this flexible space is ready to be transformed—whether as a future ADU, a stylish guest retreat, a game room, a home office, or additional family living.
The grounds are equally enchanting. The front yard is anchored by three majestic olive trees and framed by mature landscaping, while the expansive backyard is a true private oasis, ideal for entertaining and everyday family life. Highlights include a lush lawn for play, a fire pit lounge, a rose garden, vibrant bougainvillea, and an alfresco dining area under the stars. A large wooden porch just off the kitchen accommodates seating for up to 25 guests—perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings.
Completing the property is a detached two-car garage and the convenience of living just moments from South Pasadena's vibrant downtown, top-rated schools, parks, shops, restaurants, library, and beloved dog park.
Brimming with East Coast cottage charm and West Coast ease, this special home is the perfect place for a young family to plant roots, grow, and make lasting memories.
