A magical Madison Heights Craftsman showcases architectural details, a massive eat-in kitchen and a stunning backyard with expansive deck, all tucked away on a quiet side street in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods. From the inviting curb appeal, enter through a pergola and grand door into the formal entry, where timeless Craftsman character immediately shines. Wide framed openings gracefully connect the elegant living room, large dining room, and sitting/media room, offering a sense of flow while preserving distinct spaces perfect for both entertaining and daily life. The elegant living room is filled with natural light and anchored by a decorative Batchelder-style tile fireplace with a rich wood mantle, while the sitting/media room opens through double doors to a living room-sized deck ideal for gatherings. The centerpiece of the home is the massive, custom-designed eat-in kitchen, boasting granite countertops, marble backsplash, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, Viking range with grill, wine cooler, TV, skylight, and porcelain tile floors. A large eating counter separates the food prep area from the bright breakfast area, with easy access to the backyard and a laundry closet. The main floor also includes a spacious bedroom with finely crafted built-in cabinets, and a full guest bath with tub. A wide, richly textured wood staircase leads upstairs to two architecturally detailed bedrooms and a period-style spa-like bath with a separate toilet room and bath/shower combo with rain shower. The expansive main bedroom stretches nearly the full width of the home and includes a dressing-room-sized closet and an 18-foot sunroom, ideal for a work-from-home space. The backyard is nothing short of enchanting, offering a sprawling deck with built-in benches, overhead trellis, custom lighting, and wide steps leading to open grassy areas and curated gardens featuring fruit trees and show-worthy roses - a true outdoor sanctuary. Modern amenities include forced air heat, dual-zone central air, seismically retrofitted foundation, large basement, and detached two-car garage. With its charming historic architecture, richly detailed interior spaces, magical backyard and proximity to the renowned Langham Huntington Hotel, Lake Ave District, Caltech, Arroyo Parkway shops (Trader Joes & Whole Foods), and the vibrancy of Old Town Pasadena, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to live the rarely available Madison Heights lifestyle in legendary Pasadena
