Property Description

There is huge potential with this Victorian-era gem that is a true diamond in the rough, ready for its new owner to restore it to its original 1890 splendor! The house has a great flowing floor plan, with a living room and a charming parlor off either side of the entry, one with a half-hexagon shape providing a spacious bay with tall windows at every turn (the same shape is repeated in a front bedroom upstairs); a beautifully-crafted mantel graces one of the corners. There is also a dining room, a large kitchen, laundry and utility rooms, a bonus room upstairs--all generously sized rooms. You'll find a large back yard with endless possibilities. Fall in love with the original architectural detail of this turn-of-the century home boasting vintage hardware throughout, with elaborate steeple-tipped door hinges, ornately detailed door hardware, and decorative brass "dust corners" that accent the inside corners of each stair step. The doors and windows are all framed with fluted molding and rosette block corners. It's located on a tree-lined street between Fair Oaks and Los Robles, with easy access to the 134 and 210 freeways. If you have the heart to provide some genuine "TLC," and have that magic touch to bring out the best, all the elements are in place for you to restore this old home with its great bones, to bring it back to the Pasadena masterpiece it once was. This vintage home is ready for you to pull up your sleeves, give it some polish and make it shine!
