Property Description
This Tudor-style home is a blend of old world elegance, craftsmanship and modern comforts in the heart of South Pasadena. After driving through a majestic wide tree-lined street, a lush rose-lined front lawn leads to a custom arched entrance with patina accents, beneath a robust slate roof likely good for another century. Inside, the main floor shows its heritage in full: original hardwood floors, preserved moulding, rich mahogany doors, and a showpiece Batchelder tile fireplace. At its center, the chef's kitchen balances period character with modern function — custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and elegant countertops, elevated by a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas range, and Miele dishwasher. A second dining nook with its own fireplace completes the level. Two more floors feature five bedrooms, anchored by a private primary wing with an updated bathroom — separate soaking tub and shower — dual walk-in closets, and a fireplace of its own. The crown jewel is the nearly half-acre lot, presided over by a magical eucalyptus tree —allowing abundant room to entertain, cultivate a garden, and explore the potential for development of an ADU or additional unit(s) . Beyond this self-sustainable sanctuary, South Pasadena's beloved shops, restaurants, and parks are moments away — including its celebrated schools. This legacy home is waiting for its next chapter.
