Stunning Madison Heights Craftsman, built in 1909, that showcases the grace, beautiful craftsmanship and woodwork of this highly creative period. The upgraded home has been well cared for to reflect the highly artistic quality and standards of Craftsman design. All of the wood moldings, panels, built-ins, staircase and floors were sanded and stained by the current owners to achieve an organic and natural shine. Beamed ceilings, inglenook brick fireplace with wooden seat, gleaming wood floors, wood built-in cabinets and bookcases, leaded and stained glass windows, pocket doors, push button light switches, ambient light fixtures and bench picture windows are many of the exquisite features that make this historic home truly unique. The many romantic windows throughout keep each defined living space bright and light. Two sets of French screened doors lead from the Living Room and Dining Room to a spacious covered front porch. The remodeled and expanded kitchen features a Viking 6 Burner stove, built-in refrigerator, double ovens, a sliding screen at the back door, and custom cushioned kitchen table benches. The large Family Room opens to the backyard and porch via screened French Doors. Recessed lighting has been added throughout the main floor public rooms. The lovely tongue and groove staircase that leads to the second floor is an architectural beauty. One spacious bedroom is on the main floor and 3 bedrooms with 4 custom closets are on the second level. A restful bay window bench is showcased in the primary bedroom. The upstairs bathrooms have both been remodeled. The basement space serves as a media room and office. Dual zone heating and air conditioning, and a sound system are installed throughout the house and the yard. The finished garage square footage of 473 SF (not included in total house square footage) offers many possibilities, and is currently being used as a very comfortable office space with an extra Bosch refrigerator and split unit cooling system. The extensive and imaginative drought tolerant landscape, with a lovely front fountain that attracts numerous bird species, allows for easy yard care while the fenced backyard features sitting areas and a stone wraparound bench. The property’s ideal and highly coveted location is central to the businesses and schools of Pasadena and the South Lake Avenue Dining District. A piece of art and a Pasadena treasure! A very special place to call home..
