Peeking out from behind a lush blanket of greenery in the esteemed Oak Knoll neighborhood, lies this proud Craftsman masterpiece. Designed by Sylvanus B. Marston, one of Pasadena's most renowned early architects, 1255 S Oak Knoll Ave radiates a bright, cheerful warmth. While rich in modern amenities, it's adorned with craftsmanship reminiscent of a bygone era, lovingly maintained to remind us of our roots. Upon entering, a spacious foyer allows for plenty of room to greet dear friends. The generous, light-filled living room features a stunning Batchelder fireplace, built-in shelving, and ample space for piano recitals. Kick off busy weekends of soccer games and sleepovers with pancake breakfasts served in the gourmet kitchen with attached breakfast nook. Across the way, the elegant dining room is perfectly suited for both dinner parties and casual meals alike, with cool evening air drifting through the open French doors. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms with treetop views and attached en suites. An additional sunroom is ideal as a home office or play area, while a fifth en suite bedroom rests on the main level. Venture out to the dreamlike backyard, where a majestic pepper tree lends cooling shade and offers the perfect setting to hang a romantic porch swing. A gentle breeze nudges you as dinner cooks on the built-in grille and joyous laughter echoes from the pool. This historical treasure, brimming with personality, offers the perfect setting to plant your roots.
