About this House

Enchanting 1897 “Prairie Box” style bungalow nestled in the historic Garfield Heights Landmark District, one of Pasadena’s earliest established neighborhoods. This charming Prairie Bungalow has been meticulously renovated and architecturally redesigned with a 430 square foot addition that was fully permitted and completed in 2017. As you step inside, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light that illuminates the spacious interior. There is an open floorplan with a large “Grand room” ideal for entertaining guests. The ample kitchen is a culinary enthusiast's dream, that has been tastefully remodeled with wood cabinets, marble tile floor, quartz counter-tops, matching stainless-steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The main suite was enlarged as a part of the addition. The ensuite bathroom features a double sink vanity with quartz counter tops and a soaking cast-iron tub with subway tiles. The interior of the home also offers a laundry room, two more bedrooms, an additional remodel bathroom, and even a large useable attic space with windows. The entire home has been re-piped with Pex and has also been rewired with an updated electrical panel. This home features a Lennox HVAC system with an electric heater core. The sewer lateral and roof have been recently replaced. A sistering concrete foundation was poured behind the historic Arroyo rock foundation along with new piers installed to further prolong the structural integrity of the home. No expense was spared on this immaculate home, which represents the true meaning “pride of ownership". The home is situated on an expansive 11,000 square foot lot with an oversized detached two car garage that was built in 2017. The massive backyard is shaded by mature oak and citrus trees with plenty of room for a pool or ADU. The frontage has lush foliage with a character-defining porch surrounded by oak and elm trees. This home is truly a gem in the crown of the valley offering an elevated living experience with a combination of sophistication and comfort. This home reflects the American Foursquare design, a post-Victorian architectural style of the late 1800s prior to the traditional California Bungalow of the early 1900s. Now is your opportunity to purchase this historic, prestigious home and own a piece of Pasadena Heritage.

  • Rosie Pineda
    "Great diversity in this area which is rare in many parts of souther California. Great community events! "
  • Barbara Mitchell
    "This is a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Lots of fellow dog-walkers and a nearby park. But also the occasional skunk or coyote, so you always have to be on alert. "
  • Barbara Mitchell
    "I’m retired. Does not apply. Altho Pasadena is very centrally located to downtown LA, Glendale and other large places of business. "
  • Larstrella62
    "I have lived here over 36 years and seen it get better, with more business, it’s safer to walk around "
  • danielslattery
    "We have happy hours. Potlucks. Street parties and more. Progressive dinner parties. Community yards sales"
  • Benjaminramos323
    "We like to see other friendly dog owners getting along with other dog owners. Like how they pick up after their mess. And be respectful and kind with each other. "
  • Barbara Mitchell
    "There are some areas that are less safe than others…ask your old-time neighbors. (For example, don’t walk in these streets alone or at night)."
  • Trulia User
    "Our street is pretty busy but wouldn’t live anywhere else, been her 42 years and have not had any issues. "
  • John D.
    "We live on Glen Ave which is a quiet street with really good neighbors all around. It's much more attractive and well kept than South of Washington or immediately North of Woodbury, although North of Woodbury has been gentrifying extremely rapidly especially since Covid started. There are quite a few churches and a Buddhist temple. This area is very convenient with really awesome supermarkets like Super King and Vallarta that have much better produce options than Vons or Pavilions, which are also nearby. It's extremely quick to get to Trader Joe's as well. You can easily access outdoor and water activities at the Rose Bowl, the arroyo, or Descanso Gardens and there is a 24 hour fitness at Woodbury & Lincoln if you want to stay indoors. The kids from the high school walk home through the neighborhood but they generally behave themselves and it hasn't been a problem. Street parking is easy but guests parking overnight in Pasadena need a $5 permit that you get from a kiosk at the fire station on Fair Oaks."
  • Shakiyla A. D.
    "Some people like to speed on the street. So it’s good to just keep a safe distance when crossing the street"
  • Hfrasert
    "North lake sees a lot of transients and drug activity. i live right offnofnLake, I hear sirens a lot, and ive had my maik tampered with muktiole times. "
  • Vmhdesign
    "There are Beautiful craftsman, bungalows and Victorian homes on every block. On Saturday there is a farmers market at the local high school. "
  • Lorraine F.
    "Well I live in upper Altadena, but i used to live down on w mountain and I liked it there. I mean other than the “landlord” there (she’s long gone btw) , and there was the occasional parties that personally didn’t bug me but I know how it can be. But anyway Altadena is really cool and mostly quiet. And ever now and then you’ll see a couple of horseback riders which I love and I’d say that sorta unique."
  • Imani T.
    "Public transportation is good. Neighbors are nice. Neighborhood is safe. Neighbors are like family. Very nice."
  • T D
    "Lots of speeding traffic on bigger streets, pedestrians should be careful. Otherwise very safe neighborhood."
  • AP
    "It is relatively close to Old Pasadena and it has a sense of small community. There's shops and salons within walking distance."
  • Ariana P.
    "Most dogs are enclosed so it's a good place to walk your dogs around the block. Also, there is always people so your dog would get used to being around people. "
  • liz
    "While it is nice. It is surrounded by very sketchy areas with high crime. This home stands out as is one of the nicest homes."
  • Hartemployment
    "it's one of only a few city blocks that has it's electricity lines underground. so we don't experience interference from fallen tree branches when there's wind."
  • David M.
    "Very quite, relaxing, mesmerizing, walkable place to live. It is a peaceful neighborhood to live for you and your family."
