Enchanting 1897 “Prairie Box” style bungalow nestled in the historic Garfield Heights Landmark District, one of Pasadena’s earliest established neighborhoods. This charming Prairie Bungalow has been meticulously renovated and architecturally redesigned with a 430 square foot addition that was fully permitted and completed in 2017. As you step inside, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light that illuminates the spacious interior. There is an open floorplan with a large “Grand room” ideal for entertaining guests. The ample kitchen is a culinary enthusiast's dream, that has been tastefully remodeled with wood cabinets, marble tile floor, quartz counter-tops, matching stainless-steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The main suite was enlarged as a part of the addition. The ensuite bathroom features a double sink vanity with quartz counter tops and a soaking cast-iron tub with subway tiles. The interior of the home also offers a laundry room, two more bedrooms, an additional remodel bathroom, and even a large useable attic space with windows. The entire home has been re-piped with Pex and has also been rewired with an updated electrical panel. This home features a Lennox HVAC system with an electric heater core. The sewer lateral and roof have been recently replaced. A sistering concrete foundation was poured behind the historic Arroyo rock foundation along with new piers installed to further prolong the structural integrity of the home. No expense was spared on this immaculate home, which represents the true meaning “pride of ownership". The home is situated on an expansive 11,000 square foot lot with an oversized detached two car garage that was built in 2017. The massive backyard is shaded by mature oak and citrus trees with plenty of room for a pool or ADU. The frontage has lush foliage with a character-defining porch surrounded by oak and elm trees. This home is truly a gem in the crown of the valley offering an elevated living experience with a combination of sophistication and comfort. This home reflects the American Foursquare design, a post-Victorian architectural style of the late 1800s prior to the traditional California Bungalow of the early 1900s. Now is your opportunity to purchase this historic, prestigious home and own a piece of Pasadena Heritage.
