Nestled in the highly sought-after Bungalow Heaven Landmark District, this beautifully restored 1912 Craftsman bungalow by Vernon O. Whitcomb blends timeless character with extensive modern upgrades. A contributing historic property, it offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, with 1,132 sq feet plus a detached studio of 441 sq ft, totaling 1,573 square feet, all on a generous, flat 10,113 square foot lot.
A welcoming front porch opens to a living room with a brick fireplace and classic bookcase partitions leading to the dining room, highlighted by original Douglas Fir wainscoting.
Major system upgrades include a reinforced sister wall foundation, full rewiring with upgraded panels for the home and garage, new attic insulation, termite fumigation, and a leak detection system. Plumbing improvements include updated kitchen water lines, new copper piping, new angle stops, a new dryer vent, replaced corroded copper, and a tankless water heater.
The interior blends charm and modern style with new vinyl plank flooring (original hardwood remains underneath), recessed lighting, and fresh paint throughout. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new stainless appliances. The primary suite offers a shower/bath with custom tile, new vanity, and updated fixtures.
The backyard is a private retreat with a deck, built-in spa, lawn, and mature fruit trees and oaks. The detached studio offers approximately 441 square feet with its own HVAC, skylights, and French doors, presenting excellent ADU potential.
A rare opportunity to own a turnkey historic home in one of Pasadena’s most beloved neighborhoods, with potential Mills Act benefits.
