This unique property combines the best of historic charm with contemporary living on an oak-lined street. Originally an artist studio, the great room features a north-facing picture window with views of the San Gabriel Mountains and a stately brick fireplace. It has been updated with an open kitchen ready for entertaining with custom cabinetry, ample storage, and granite countertops.
The primary bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, with custom cabinetry, a granite countertop, no-step shower, and full soaker tub. The front bedroom has an adjacent full bath, ideal for family, guest, or home office use. The bedroom closets have custom built-in shelving.
The front sliding doors lead to a courtyard paved with early 20th-century bricks original to the property. The fenced backyard is ideal for vegetable gardening and entertaining on the brick patio. The landscaping throughout the property includes drip irrigation, drought-tolerant California natives, fruit trees, and naturalized bulbs that have been on the property for decades. The home is a past recipient of the “Golden Arrow Award” from the Pasadena Beautiful Foundation.
The great room and two bedrooms each have energy-efficient mini-split HVAC units. Hot water is provided by a tankless water heater. The utility closet includes a washer/dryer. New flooring is seamless throughout the house. The long driveway includes a pocket parking space and leads to a two-car detached garage with built-in and rafter storage.
Property History: After a career in Europe and New England, artist Alfred Cornelius Howland retired in Pasadena and built the neighboring corner home and this studio on what was then known as Dakota Street. He was known as the “Corot of America,” and his artwork can be found in the Smithsonian and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Another artist, Geraldine Birch Duncan, known as a portrait painter and etcher, subsequently lived in this home and used the studio from the 1920s until her death in 1972.
Location: Conveniently located near JPL, the Angeles National Forest, the Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, the Memorial Park A Line Metro Station, and the 210 Freeway.
