Commissioned by Henry Finch in 1895, 496 Palmetto Dr was designed by English-born architect T.W. Parkes, who was responsible for much of Pasadena's residential & commercial growth at the turn of the century. Downstairs, an expansive front porch graces the entrance, & an original pocket door separates the sitting room & family room. The dining room's fireplace originally housed a coal burning stove & boasts its original tile, imported from Belgium. The remodeled chef's kitchen retains its original copper sink, & original hardware is peppered throughout the home. What was formerly a generous sleeping porch has been converted into a grand master suite surrounded by broad windows, highlighting designer wallpaper imported from the UK. An en suite bedroom, mudroom, & California basement round out the lower level. French doors from the mudroom open onto a sprawling yard replete w. opportunities for entertaining, from intimate dinners by the built-in barbecue to 100+ guest affairs.
