Description

Welcome to 218 Madeline Drive, Pasadena, an historic Craftsman Bungalow designed by architect Joseph J. Blick and located in the Pasadena Avenue Historic District. Named in the National Register of Historic Places, this 1905 property offers an amazing restoration opportunity. A full-length porch with a river rock foundation and wide concrete stairs invites you to enter through the single-leaf entry door with mail slot. Features include high ceilings, original wood details and cabinetry. The home has a carved decorative surround including fluted pilasters on either side. Windows have thick wood surrounds and exteriors are clad in drop channel siding. A shed roof dormer on the front roof slope has extended and rounded rafter tails and three six-pane horizontal wood casement windows. The side gables are jerkinheads. A carport at the rear of the property is accessed by way of an easement off Pasadena Avenue. The house was originally built as a speculative investment property for William and Gertrude Burns. Utilities have been off for an extended period of time and will not be activated for inspections. Property is currently not habitable and there are health and safety concerns.

    "Cute established area of smaller character homes (mine's a 2+1on cul de sac of mid-century moderns) and million-dollar-plus estates. Nice mix of folks in age, lifestyle, interests. Lots of dog lovers (mine kinda people.) Walk to Old Pas or So Pas. "
