514 Fremont Ave, South Pasadena, CA 91030

This classic 1930s Colonial Revival home offers a mix of refined original details and wonderfully considered modern updates in the heart of small town South Pasadena. The large street to street lot's primary access is on serene Fremont Lane across from a grove of majestic oak trees. There, refined brick steps lead up from a two car garage to a recently redone covered deck and garden. Around the home is a covered porch featuring a door to the living room with neoclassical crown and pilaster. The porch fronts a garden surrounded by mature greenery and steps down to Fremont Ave. Inside, a gracious living room features a central hearth, window niche suspended below original dentil molding, hardwood floors, and some of the home's charming original doors and hardware. A large opening connects to the elegant dining room with its large bay window seat, circular entry window, and notched molding. The dining room connects seamlessly to the recently renovated kitchen, which features Miele appliances. A corridor provides a nice separation between the social spaces and bedrooms and bathrooms beyond. A large skylit bonus room, perfect for an in-home office or play room, connects two of the bedrooms - one of which is the primary with its updated en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and easy connection to the garden. The other bedroom and updated second bathroom is at the end of the corridor. Recent updates include a newer roof, solar panels with battery backups, EV charger, gutters, HVAC system, tankless water heater, attic solar fans, and seismic retrofits. The refined historic home sits just blocks from the commercial heart of South Pas on Mission Street and its renowned Farmers Market.
