Gracefully blending early 1900s Craftsman charm with a thoughtful collection of modern upgrades, this beautiful South Pasadena home offers warmth, character, and exceptional everyday livability. A classic covered front porch welcomes you into a bright and open living room highlighted by hardwood floors, a beamed ceiling, a brick fireplace, and beautifully preserved built-ins. The formal dining room--with its wainscoting and custom cabinetry--leads to an inviting chef's kitchen appointed with high-end stainless-steel appliances, abundant counter space, a full-size beverage refrigerator, a warming drawer, and seamless connection to the family room. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with an updated bath featuring dual sinks and a walk-in shower, as well as additional bedrooms offering charming built-ins and balcony access.Significant seller-added improvements elevate the home even further. A newly constructed covered back porch adds approximately 280 sq ft of sheltered outdoor living, expanding the home's entertaining footprint. The seller also completed a whole-house replacement of windows and balcony doors with dual-pane, energy-efficient Taylor Brothers Architectural Products, installed new white oak hardwood floors on the second level, refreshed both yards with professional landscaping, mature magnolia and palm trees, and landscape lighting, and added a custom garage door with an updated operator. The detached, finished two-car garage includes built-in storage, a wall-hanging organization system, and a dedicated sub-panel wired for 220-volt electric vehicle charging.The property may also offer opportunities for supplemental filming income--previous owners hosted scenes from the 2023 film 80 for Brady, and the home continues to be of interest to location scouts. With its blend of period craftsmanship, curated modern comforts, and a highly walkable South Pasadena location known for beloved shops, parks, and award-winning schools, this exceptional residence embodies both historic charm and contemporary convenience.
