Description

Set in the desirable Historic Highlands neighborhood of Pasadena, this gorgeous English Tudor-style home designed by H. C. Nickerson was custom build for Mr. and Mrs. R.G. Waterhouse. The Waterhouse House rests on a lovely, larger-than-average lot--with amazing outdoor spaces--and is chock full of character. A brick walkway tucked between manicured hedges leads the way inside, where hardwood floors span living spaces that include a formal living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with French doors that lead the tranquil grounds, a well-equipped kitchen and a sunny breakfast room with a built-in buffet and display cabinetry. Entertain inside or out: The extensive patio pergola begs for alfresco gatherings amid the backyard's lush landscaping. There's also a finished basement with a fireplace--currently used a home office--a useful mudroom off the kitchen, an upstairs bonus room ideal as a media/game room and a great workshop space off the 2-car garage. When it's time to retire, head to one of four generous bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath; the largest boasts an ample custom walk-in closet. ( Home has been measured and with the office and bonus room is approximately 5000 Square Feet)
