Located in the Historic Highlands Landmark District of Pasadena, this lovely home was built by George Helfman as his personal residence. Mr. Helfman built several homes in the neighborhood and 973 E. Howard has been featured in the Historic Highland Home Tours due to its signature elements including the cement porch banister with tapered pillars. The public rooms include a foyer with built-in bench, living room with box beam ceiling, crown molding, divided light casement windows, built-in seating and glass front cabinets. The dining room has a built-in buffet with leaded glass front doors, wainscoting with plate rails and crown moldings. The kitchen was updated with maple cabinets and retains a contemporary interpretation of Craftsman details. There is 1 bedroom on the main level and 3 on the second. The first level bath retains the original claw foot tub and stained glass window. The upstairs bath has built-ins and updated fixtures. The sleeping porch at the front of the house has been converted into an office with wonderful natural light. The home includes numerous updates including seismic bolting, solar panels, plumbing, electrical, roof, 2 zone HVAC and custom driveway gates with automatic opener. The gardens have been recently landscaped with drought tolerant plantings and the large entertaining patio off the kitchen is shaded by a towering Oak. Numerous fruit and citrus trees are found in the backyard, which has a detached 2 car garage with Tesla Charging.
