Just west of Arroyo Seco, this exquisitely expanded 1937 modern farmhouse is tucked into Pasadena’s coveted San Rafael Hills, offering a rare opportunity to own a timeless residence where historic charm blend with contemporary confidence in perfect harmony. Surrounded by lush, mature and charming landscapes, every detail of this home has been thoughtfully preserved, restored and elevated.
Originally a custom-built 2 bedroom bungalow, the home underwent a permitted expansion in 1990, which seamlessly introduced a spacious family room, laundry room and a 2nd level adding two more guest bedrooms, another full bath, plus an extraordinary primary retreat with walk-in, cedar lined closet, and 2-way fireplace. A recent bathroom renovation includes a walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, dual vanity, and a private water closet. The hallway guest bathroom also boasts a private toilet room and dual sink vanity. The first floor bathroom has separate shower and soaking tub.
Stunning, solid oak flooring is the feature of every room. A remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home. Antique brass door hardware, faucets and fixtures—carefully curated and appointed throughout—pay homage to the elite of the 1930s. The secondary baths celebrate the polished chrome finishes that defined luxury of the period.
Beyond its enduring beauty lies exceptional peace of mind. Extensive improvements include updated foundation bolting and seismic bracing, new(er) roof, rain gutters, dual-pane windows, insulated doors, electrical with grounding and surge protection, new plumbing supply and sewer lines to the street, water softening and purification systems, top-tier kitchen appliances, updated sinks, faucets and hardware, window shutters, low-maintenance hardscape, designer landscaping, concrete paver drive and walkways, slate patio, Ipe hardwood deck, water heater, ductwork, and dual-zone HVAC.
Boasting Smart-home amenities: Ring cameras, doorbell, lighting; remote-accessible security system; MyQ garage opener with camera; Lutron and Hue WiFi lighting controls; and Nest smart thermostats.
The yards bring you into another world, as if on an enchanted escape to a fairytale land, and are low maintenance!.
Excellent charter school options are nearby. This home is just 3 minutes from highways, making commutes to Downtown LA, Burbank, Studio City easy.
A home that doesn’t just celebrate history—it invites you to become part of it.
