Welcome to this charming 1920s bungalow, situated two blocks from Caltech and the esteemed Huntington Gardens. Located on a tree-lined street in a historic neighborhood, this endearing home retains many of its original features, meticulously restored with an emphasis on period detail. A thoughtful 2004 remodel seamlessly integrated modern conveniences with the rich architectural character. The kitchen, boasting custom cabinetry, a breakfast nook with a custom walnut table, Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Asko dishwasher, and Shaw farm sink, was prominently featured in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room, equipped with a fully enclosed, undercounter washer and dryer, additional storage, and a Shaw farm sink. The spacious master bedroom suite, complete with a cedar-lined walk-in closet, offers direct access to the rear garden. The two additional bedrooms also feature walk-in closets and numerous windows, providing light-filled views of a picturesque fern garden. A second bathroom is conveniently located off the hallway. Other upgrades include a NEST thermostat, ADT security system with 3 cameras, and a wirelessly run Rechio sprinkler system that can be completely run from your phone. Don't miss the charm of this attractive home located in close proximity to Lake Avenue shops and restaurants, Caltech, Polytechnic School, and the Huntington Gardens.
