This beautifully preserved and restored Craftsman home reveals a bright and inviting interior upon entering the large foyer. It is immediately apparent throughout the house that the current owners have respected all of the original details and character. Original touches include refinished quarter-sawn oak and fir floors, casement and sash windows, French doors, stained glass details, lighting fixtures, and multiple areas with built-in cabinetry. Some of the most difficult and expensive infrastructure improvements have already been addressed, including a new sewer line to the street, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical panel and wiring, a new roof, earthquake retrofitting, and an updated 2-zone heating and air conditioning system. These improvements will simplify the process of obtaining homeowners insurance for the next stewards of the home. The beautiful kitchen has been sensitively reconfigured using top-quality materials. Just off the kitchen, you will find a large family room with a conveniently concealed laundry area and a renovated half bath. Along with the two entertaining spaces downstairs, there is an additional office or guest bedroom. The upstairs configuration includes three gracious bedrooms, an enclosed sleeping porch and two and 1/2 bathrooms. One bathroom has its original show-stopping tile, and the other has been fully renovated. There is a covered carport fronting the 2-car detached garage, and a bonus room with 500+ square feet above. The fully enclosed flat back yard includes an eating patio off of the dining room, and a grassy lawn with a kids’ playhouse. Conveniently located to South Pasadena, Alhambra, and San Marino, this home benefits from the South Pasadena’s blue ribbon Marengo School District.
