A Grand 1909 Craftsman showcasing architecturally detailed living spaces and exquisite gardens on a 17,476 square foot lot, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for 55 years and sits in the highly desirable Marengo Neighborhood. Crossing the large front sitting porch, with its refined architectural detailing, an extra wide oak door opens into the gracious living room with its generous windows bathing the room with natural light. A decorative textured brick fireplace, refinished original hardwood floors, and many Craftsman details, including the William Morris wallpaper, create a sense of history and grandeur. The formal Dining Room opens directly from the living room, and features a coffered ceiling, plate-rail topped paneling, original cabinetry, views to the front garden and a double door opening to the dining porch. An expansive Den at the back of the home has a decorative fireplace, Craftsman detailing and 2 walls of full height glass providing light and views to the lush park-like backyard. The comfortable, generously sized kitchen includes some updated appliances and a charming breakfast room with period cabinetry. Under the original Stained wood Staircase is an architecturally designed Craftsman half bath. The 2nd floor features a period style bath with laundry and 4 bedrooms, one with 2 walls of original casement windows and access to the large balcony. The main bedroom spans nearly half the front of the house and includes an extra large bathroom awaiting reimagination into today's grand style. A 3rd floor space provides for a potential additional bedroom, gameroom, playroom or work-from-home headquarters. The wide park like backyard has a circular drive, meticulously maintained gardens with multiple fruit trees and a 3 bay carport. With its incredible proximity to all that dreamy South Pasadena offers, including shops, restaurants, a Blue Ribbon awarded elementary school, plus the middle school just 2 blocks away, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to live the popular South Pasadena lifestyle in grandeur.
