Description

From the moment you turn onto East Orange Grove Boulevard and see that corner lot -- the Tudor roofline, the sharp exterior color palette, the mature landscaping, the front patio framed by the San Gabriels -- you feel it. This is the kind of home people spend years looking for and decades grateful they found.Sitting on a generous corner lot in one of Northeast Pasadena's most beloved neighborhoods, this 1926 English Tudor Revival is rare in its architecture, its craftsmanship, and its preservation. While so many of the most important original details have been lovingly preserved, the home has been fully renovated from top to bottom -- offering the charm and character of a nearly century-old masterpiece with the comfort and quality of a modern home. In addition to the main living spaces, there are three remodeled bedrooms and two baths on the main level, while upstairs an additional 600+ square feet - currently configured as two home offices, invites you to make it your own: a creative studio, a home gym, a retreat, or whatever your life calls for.The character details are extraordinary: soaring vaulted living room ceilings with original exposed beams, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, a statement fireplace, French doors, picture windows, and graceful arched details and built-in shelving that speak directly to the period craftsmanship that's increasingly hard to find. Nearly a century old and meticulously maintained, this is a home that has been loved over the years -- and it shows in every detail.Mornings here have a rhythm. Enjoy your first cup of coffee on the cozy kitchen banquette and feel the warmth of the morning sun. The remodeled kitchen features top-of-the-line Viking stainless appliances, Caesarstone counters, a farmhouse sink, sage green custom cabinetry, and a mosaic tile backsplash -- a space where cooking feels like a pleasure, not a chore. The adjacent laundry area and mudroom, complete with washer, dryer, and built-in bench, offer direct access to the rear garden.Lushly landscaped and designed for both entertaining and quiet retreat, the outdoor space offers a genuine sense of privacy. A built-in barbecue, covered patio, and fountain create the perfect setting for gatherings large or small, while the expansive grassy side yard, secret garden, and detached two-car garage with EV charging round out the picture. California outdoor living, fully realized. Don't miss this home and make it 'Where Your Home Happens'.
