Nestled in the heart of Pasadena's coveted Garfield Heights Historic District, this beautifully restored three bedroom 1911 Craftsman bungalow is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Built by Wallace J. Richardson, , the property has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its rich architectural character. From the deep-set river rock porch with matching pedestals and period-style lighting to the original staggered shingle siding and segmented windows, the home exudes classic Arts & Crafts charm. Inside, you'll find coffered ceilings, original woodwork, a preserved wallpaper frieze, and an original chandelier in the dining room--features that reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era.Recent upgrades include restored original windows, a fully repaired river rock foundation and porch, and a dual-zone HVAC system . The kitchen is a chef's dream, outfitted with a Wolf range with custom hood, pot filler, handcrafted Janet Ontko tiles, and solid wood cabinetry. English Rohl fixtures and Urban Archaeology lighting in the kitchen enhance the experience. The three bathrooms have been updated with Newport Brass fixtures in the main bath and a convenient second-floor laundry setup. Custom Marvin windows were used for replacement where needed bring in natural light while staying true to the home's historic integrity.Outside, the professionally landscaped yard offers a tranquil oasis with a heated saltwater pool finished in Japanese tile and pebble tech, a Baja deck with a shower, and spa. The private brick patio includes a fountain and authentic Craftsman-style lamps originally from the Disney Grand Californian Hotel. The garden is fully irrigated with a drip system and features mature fruit trees-- lemon, tangerine, Mexican lime, avocado, and pomegranate .A fully renovated garage has been transformed into a stylish guest casita, complete with a full bath, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, and soft-close cabinetry. It also features a Level 2 EV charger connection, a theater system with projector and screen, and a seamless indoor-outdoor audio setup. Architectural plans are in place for potential ADU expansion, and the paid-off solar panels offer long-term energy efficiency.A truly beautiful home.
