Gracious Classic Craftsman architecture is complimented with Exquisite, Careful Updates that retain the character of this comfortably elegant home with spaces for play, entertaining and working from home. The stunningly updated, yet very livable custom designed Kitchen is open to the large den, which opens directly to the deck and yard, making for one extensive indoor/outdoor living area suitable for any modern lifestyle. The formal living & dining rooms have restored Craftsman details: beamed ceilings, built-in cabinetry, picture rails, hardwood floors & gas-only fireplace with original stonework. The main level also features 2 spacious bedrooms and a truly unique designer bathroom showcasing hand picked tiles, custom cabinetry, and a spa-like shower. An office is tucked off the wide entry hall, and a separate laundry room. The Main Bedroom Suite upstairs provides treetop views out 3 sides of windows plus a finely designed bathroom with period references & luxury touches. The broad backyard highlights a wide outdoor living room deck, and a stunning tree canopy under which to swing, play or dine. The original garage structure is divided to hold both a car and a playroom + gym. System upgrades include electrical wiring & panel, owned solar panels, attic insulation & newer sewer connection. With award winning schools, the small town vibe of South Pasadena is near all the San Marino/Alhambra shops & restaurants, so it's a convenient yet gracious, comfortable house to call home.
