This enchanting 1924 Spanish Colonial Revival proves that timeless design never goes out of style. Set on an oversized lot in the heart of Pasadena, it blends authentic period character with thoughtful modern updates - the rare home that feels both historic and effortlessly livable. A beautiful, generously sized front porch sets the tone, opening to a classic living room anchored by a period tile fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room charms with a decorative corner fireplace and a graceful display niche, while a sun-drenched breakfast nook is framed by a delightful arch crowning the front window. Warm Saltillo tile floors flow throughout, grounding every room in genuine Old World character.At the center of it all, the gourmet kitchen is a cook's dream - honed granite c ountertops, a farmhouse sink, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a double-drawer dishwasher. A spacious, updated laundry room adds everyday function with quartzite countertops and custom cabinetry. The home offers three well-appointed bedrooms, two of them en suite. The spacious primary retreat features dual pedestal sinks and a walk-in shower; the second bedroom enjoys its own private full bath; and a separate full bath off the main hallway serves the third bedroom, which opens to its own private patio. A standout for creatives and remote professionals alike: the detached two-car garage has been transformed into a fully soundproof music studio - a turnkey space for recording, rehearsing, or quiet, focused work. Combined with the surrounding spaces, the property offers genuine ADU potential for the savvy investor looking to add long-term value. Outdoors, the oversized lot truly shines. A covered patio with a built-in barbecue area is made for entertaining, while mature fruit trees and shady, established landscaping create a private, sun-dappled retreat with ample room to imagine a pool, garden, or future expansion. All of this just minutes from the shops on Lake Avenue, CalTech, and Old Town Pasadena. A rare blend of character, flexibility, and opportunity - come experience classic Pasadena living for yourself. All offers are due Tuesday June 30, 2026 by 5:00 PM.
