Property Description
Faded Pasadena Rose Queen In 1905 the Tournament of Roses Edition of the Pasadena Daily News featured this 1902 craftsman under the heading Some Handsome New Madison Avenue Homes. It was described as a home one stops to look at a second time. Many years and much deferred maintenance later, this sleeping beauty is ready to be awakened with some serious restoration. Many of its vintage beauty marks still exist a beautifully crafted coffered ceiling, a gorgeous Batchelder fireplace, dazzling diamond pane windows (with original wavy glass) and a soaring river rock chimney. Circa 1925, the owners updated the house with some cutting edge improvements of the day: indoor plumbing and electricity! Also added was the porte cochere. This home, which obviously needs love and work, is apreservationist's dream. Once restored it will be a showplace in tree-lined Madison Heights, one of Pasadena's prettiest areas. Besides 6 BR, 5 BA, there's a pool w/ pool house, 4 car garage and a man cave large enough to accommodate King Kong. Buyer to check all permits & comply with City Occupancy. Bonus - Jeopardy question: He was serving his 2nd year as US President when house was built in 1902.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
