Description
This exquisite four bedroom, three bath, 2,263 square foot 1915 Craftsman Airplane Bungalow, with a lower-level office, has been lovingly remodeled and restored throughout. The house is an idyllic reflection of the arts and crafts movement while still offering a welcoming floor plan for entertaining. The interior is filled with period grace and details throughout, including hardwood floors, wide baseboards, rich wood crown moldings, elegant woodwork, as well as custom built-ins, all reflecting the majesty of the era. As you step up to the wrap-around porch, you are beckoned in via a stately, oak front door with an inset oval, beveled glass window. It leads into the living room with a magnificent stone fireplace topped with a hand-crafted relief. From there you enter the central, formal dining room that has an adjoining office or sitting area. Both rooms step out to patios or porches that provide wonderful seating spaces. Additionally, there is a light-filled kitchen, with high-end, stainless appliances as well as a cozy breakfast nook, that has all been beautifully redone with gleaming white cabinetry and granite counters. There are four bedrooms including two on the first floor which is where you have the master suite, as well as two bedrooms on the second floor that offer tree-top views and invite the outside in. The bathrooms have been tastefully updated while remaining in keeping with the architecture of this highly desirable style. Additionally, there is a back mudroom or laundry area that steps out to the two-car garage, electric car charger and a bonus space that could work equally well as a fitness studio, workshop or office, if desired. The residence is sited behind tall hedges while still providing picture-perfect curb appeal through its gated entry that showcases the raised porch that wraps the home. All this in the sought-after, 'Historic Highlands' neighborhood. The expansive lot circles the structure and offers numerous spaces for celebrating with friends or for quiet dinners under the stars. The shade dappled 16,609 square foot lot, with old growth trees including majestic oaks and fruit bearing citrus, is a pleasure to behold and allows you to feel that you have found a secret escape. It truly feels like a serene, hidden retreat. Don't miss this true Pasadena treasure!
