Step into a charming chapter of Pasadena’s past with this lovingly updated 1915 Craftsman cottage, nestled in the historic Palmetto Court — one of Southern California’s earliest and most beloved bungalow courts, designed by noted architect Cyril Bennett. Just minutes from Old Town Pasadena, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful upgrades, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of living history.This 1-bedroom, 1-bath gem is filled with natural light and showcases classic Craftsman details, including a cozy fireplace and an original built-in buffet. Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof, updated electrical system, newer HVAC, and beautifully refinished floors. Outside, mature fruit trees surround the home, creating a tranquil garden setting. The spacious covered front porch is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day.A full-sized washer and dryer are conveniently located on the side patio, and a dedicated uncovered parking space is included. The home is part of a Co-Op HOA, but the current owner has successfully opted out–a choice that remains available to the new owner, allowing for greater autonomy while still being part of this special historic community.Palmetto Court offers a unique lifestyle–steeped in Pasadena’s architectural legacy, yet close to all the conveniences of modern living. Enjoy easy access to Whole Foods, Vons, Trader Joe’s, public transportation, and a wide variety of shops and restaurants in Old Town. It’s also just minutes from Huntington Hospital and other major medical centers. This home is a wonderful alternative to apartment or condo living–offering privacy, charm, and ownership without the shared hallways or elevators.This darling cottage is more than a place to live–it’s a rare find in a storied neighborhood, perfect for those who appreciate historic charm, thoughtful updates, and a vibrant Pasadena lifestyle.
