690 Prospect Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91103

Property Description

Prospect Park was the first Pasadena neighborhood to receive designation on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980's and 690 Prospect Boulevard has not been on the market since before that designation. Built in 1923 in the French Normandy Revival style, this lovingly preserved and elegantly updated courtyard style residence offers single-level living in the heart of a beloved neighborhood known for quality homes of generous proportions on lots larger than in most city subdivisions. Close to the central arroyo and all the activities surrounding the Rose Bowl, Prospect Park is a favorite for its tree-shaded sidewalks, proximity to Old Town and easy access to all surrounding communities. Offering 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, this home is sensibly configured, beautifully constructed, and stylishly renovated. With vaulted beam ceilings, Tudor arches, multiple fireplaces, and fittings and fixtures that accentuate the historical vintage of the home, this residence is rich with timeless features in a prime location. The lushly landscaped grounds were designed to be reminiscent of a cottage garden and add color and depth to the views from inside and outside. The main home includes a large walk-up attic and basement, both with interior access. The detached garage fronts a separate storeroom. After decades off the market, this exceptional character home is ready to become the backdrop for its next stewards.
