822 Mar Vista AvenuePasadena, CA 91104

Description

Bungalow Heaven Craftsman is filled with character and rich architectural detail. From the street, lush front gardens introduce the home, where a rock pathway winds past grape vines and a lemon tree to an expansive front porch. Imagine morning coffee here; under deep overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails and behind decorative cross-buck railings. Inside, hardwood floors gleam. This is an artist's home. To the left of the entry is a generous living room with large wood casement windows, a high accent window, coved ceilings, and picture rail molding. To the right, the formal dining room is filled with original character and architectural details, including a bay window, box-beam ceiling, crown molding, wainscoting, and built-in china cabinet and buffet. A rustic stone fireplace with a flush slate hearth completes the room. Just beyond, the kitchen features white tile countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt range. A double sink beneath a pair of double-hung windows brings in the garden light, and tall cabinets provide generous storage. A small laundry room off the kitchen offers convenient outdoor access. Past the kitchen, a sconce-lit corridor leads to two main-level bedrooms, including the sizable primary, both with Craftsman five-panel doors and picture rail molding. Nearby, the bath offers a built-in linen cabinet, medicine cabinet, and lovely claw foot tub with shower. A staircase with a skylight above carries up to a gallery-style landing. Upstairs, find two additional bedrooms and a sitting room. The dormer bedroom is especially charming, with sloped plaster ceilings, a wall of windows, and hardwood floors. Deep nooks tucked under the eaves offer room for extra storage. Outside, the large, private backyard is framed by a stately oak and towering twin palms, with river rock landscaping, a vegetable garden, and a detached single-car garage. Just minutes from the McDonald Park and shops on Lake Ave, this home is located in one of Pasadena's most beloved historic neighborhoods. 822 Mar Vista Ave is an opportunity to live with exceptional architecture and timeless character.
