Welcome to a piece of history nestled in the heart of the majestic Bungalow Heaven neighborhood, a meticulously restored 1910 Craftsman gem that stands as a testament to timeless beauty and modern functionality. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is a sanctuary of elegance and charm, set upon a generously sized lot that beckons you with its herringbone pavers leading to the front door. Meticulously renovated, fully permitted, this residence was taken down to the studs in most areas. Every detail has been considered to ensure both historical integrity and contemporary comfort. The entire electrical system has been fully rewired, panel upgraded to 200amp, every single plumbing line replaced, and a new mainline installed. Topping it all off is a brand-new 30-year cool roof, providing both efficiency and durability. The dedication to preserving the past while embracing the future is evident in the six successful inspections with the City of Pasadena and the Historical Review Board. This Craftsman home stands as a testament to design and permitting excellence, a rarity in this historic district. The floor plan has been thoughtfully reimagined and reframed to cater to the needs of a modern family while retaining the essence of 1910. Classic touches like wainscoting and crown molding adorn the 9-foot ceilings, enveloping you in an atmosphere of regal elegance. The bathrooms are showcases of craftsmanship, featuring handmade Spanish glazed tiles and book-matched 10-foot porcelain slabs, meticulously mitered by true artisans. Double stack shaker cabinets boast three types of brass handles, creating a symphony of luxury and functionality. A custom wine rack enclosed in a glass cage, stretching from floor to ceiling, is highlighted by smart lighting design. Lighting in this home is a masterpiece in itself, with recessed baffle lights cleverly placed throughout, totaling nearly 100 energy-efficient fixtures. Level 5 smooth drywall graces the interior, complemented by white oak veneer interior doors. A brand-new 4-ton HVAC system ensures your comfort year-round. Outside, custom welded gates and handrails, powder coated for longevity, welcome you to a backyard paradise. A pergola, picnic area, and fire pit for outdoor enjoyment. This Craftsman home is not just a house; it's a journey through time and design excellence. It seamlessly marries the spirit of 1910 with the innovations of 2025 and beyond, incorporating Art Nouveau elements inspired by Parisian aesthetics.
