Property Description

Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, this distinguished English-style residence is nestled in Historic Highlands, one of Northeast Pasadena's most storied, tree-lined neighborhoods. Owned by just two families since it was built in 1924, this timeless home now awaits its next chapter.Set back from the street behind a sprawling front lawn and mature landscaping, the home makes a graceful first impression with its timeless English architecture, carved stone detailing, covered entry, and welcoming front porch - the perfect place to relax and enjoy Pasadena's golden-hour sunsets.Inside, a graceful series of arched doorways leads from room to room as rich hardwood floors, original architectural details, and abundant natural light create warm, inviting living spaces.

The expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat with its own fireplace, dramatic beamed ceilings, a generous sitting area, ensuite bath, and oversized walk-in closet.Outside, the expansive rear grounds offer endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining, recreation, or future enhancements. Beyond the electric gate, the long driveway leads to an expanded detached garage and versatile bonus space, ideal as a workshop, artist's studio, home gym, or potential ADU (buyer to verify). The level, quarter-acre-plus lot offers ample room for a pool, gardens, or expanded outdoor living.Located within Pasadena's Historic Highlands Landmark District, celebrated for its annual Home Tour and remarkable collection of period homes, this is a rare opportunity to restore, renovate, or thoughtfully reimagine a home of exceptional character while creating lasting value in one of the city's most treasured neighborhoods. While tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street, the home is just minutes from the boutiques and cafes of Hill Avenue, shopping, and cultural attractions of Old Pasadena, the Playhouse District, and South Lake Avenue.
