About this House

In the shadows of the San Gabriel Mountains in the City of Pasadena is one of the most active and pleasant communities in the United States, "The Historic Highlands". This beautifully restored Craftsman home is one of the true originals. When it was built in 1901, you would be able to sit on the porch with a summer lemonade and soak in the views of the orange and oak trees that surrounded you. The Craftsman style made Pasadena the Bungalow capital of the West Coast. The orange grove is long gone... but you still have a wonderfully shaded property located in the center of "the highlands". You are a pleasant stroll away from tasty croissants at Seeds Bakery or a few blocks from a brunch at the iconic Millie's Café. The home is tastefully refinished with newer cabinets and a number of upgraded features. The Batchelder tiles on the living room fireplace are pure works of art worthy of a museum. The cottage garage has been converted to a charming office and the car port can double as an outdoor dining spot. Come see the possibilities.
1086 E Howard St, Pasadena, CA 91104 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,160 sqft single-family home in East Central, built in 1901. It last sold for $1,025,000 on Jan 8, 2021.
